Aditya, thanks for starting to clean up the repository following your
investigation on kernel-doc warnings.

The changes to all those files look sound.

However I think these ten patches are really just _one change_, and
hence, all can be put into a single commit.

Hints that suggest it is one change:

- The commit message is pretty much the same (same motivation, same
explanation, same design decisions)
- The change is basically the same (same resulting change in different files)
- All patches are sent to the same responsible people, all of the
patches would be reviewed and accepted by the same people.
- All ten patches can be reviewed at once.

How about merging all ten patches into one patch and sending out a v2.
