Um ... this makes no sense at all.  If kernel-doc thought that was a
kernel-doc comment, the problem is there, not here.

<looks>

So the report you're referring to is

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/20221110182938.40ce2651@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

?  If so, this change will not fix the problem.  That error:

> drivers/iommu/iommufd/device.c:1: warning: no structured comments found
> drivers/iommu/iommufd/main.c:1: warning: no structured comments found

is caused by using .. kernel-doc:: directives to extract documentation
from files where none exists - thus "no structured comments found".

The *real* problem, methinks, is that the directives are added in patch 4
of the series, but the documentation doesn't show up until later.  So
the real fix would be to simply move this patch down.  Or just not worry
about it, since it all works out in the end and nobody will be bisecting
a docs build.

Bagas, you are *again* misadvising people.  Please stop doing that!

Thanks,

jon
