------------------------------------------------------
Subject: kernel-doc: allow unnamed structs/unions
From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>
Make kernel-doc support unnamed (anonymous) structs and unions. There is
one (union) in include/linux/skbuff.h (inside struct sk_buff) that is
currently generating a kernel-doc warning, so this fixes that warning.
