I don't think this will show up in the kdoc output, but it sure would be
nice. Maybe it could be part of the description of
ieee80211_radiotap_iterator as a 'how to use this iterator' section (see
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt, it talks about sections)? Or maybe as
kernel-doc for the functions themselves.

Oh, you have kerneldoc comments in the source file. Does anyone know
which is preferable? I usually put everything into the header file that
is not implementation-detail.

We mostly put kernel-doc into source files (i.e., not header files).
We use kernel-doc in header files for inline functions, macros,
structs, unions, etc., but function kernel-doc blocks are meant to
immediately precede their functions.
