Yeah I don't see anything either? Though kernel-doc certainly could
complain about the order if it wanted to. I tend to think it doesn't
need to match though, per above.

Fair enough.

I think we can also apply it if you think it makes things easier, I just
didn't think "it should match" really is a good justification. I don't
care too much about the order in the docs, but also don't see needlessly
changing it as a useful thing.
