As of commit b77fdd6a48e6 ("scripts/kernel-doc: restore warning for
Excess struct/union"), we see the following warnings when running 'make
htmldocs':
./include/uapi/drm/nouveau_drm.h:292: warning: Excess struct member 'DRM_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND_OP_MAP' description in 'drm_nouveau_vm_bind_op'
./include/uapi/drm/nouveau_drm.h:292: warning: Excess struct member 'DRM_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND_OP_UNMAP' description in 'drm_nouveau_vm_bind_op'
./include/uapi/drm/nouveau_drm.h:292: warning: Excess struct member 'DRM_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND_SPARSE' description in 'drm_nouveau_vm_bind_op'
./include/uapi/drm/nouveau_drm.h:336: warning: Excess struct member 'DRM_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND_RUN_ASYNC' description in 'drm_nouveau_vm_bind'
The problem is that these values are #define constants, but had kerneldoc
comments attached to them as if they were actual struct members.
There are a number of ways we could fix this, but I chose to draw
inspiration from include/uapi/drm/i915_drm.h, which pulls them into the
corresponding kerneldoc comment for the struct member that they are
intended to be used with.
To keep the diff readable, there are a number of things I _didn't_ do in
this patch, but which we should also consider:
- This is pretty good documentation, but it ends up in gpu/driver-uapi,
which is part of subsystem-apis/ when it really ought to display under
userspace-api/ (the "Linux kernel user-space API guide" book of the
documentation).
- More generally, we might want a warning if include/uapi/ files are
kerneldoc'd outside userspace-api/.
- I'd consider it cleaner if the #defines appeared between the kerneldoc
for the member and the member itself (which is something other DRM-
related UAPI docs do).
- The %IDENTIFIER kerneldoc syntax is intended for "constants", and is
more appropriate in this context than ``IDENTIFIER`` or &IDENTIFIER.
The DRM docs aren't very consistent on this.
