Subject: scripts/kernel-doc: don't eat struct members with __aligned
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 7b990789a4c3420fa57596b368733158e432d444 upstream.
The change from \d+ to .+ inside __aligned() means that the following
structure:
struct test {
u8 a __aligned(2);
u8 b __aligned(2);
};
essentially gets modified to
struct test {
u8 a;
};
for purposes of kernel-doc, thus dropping a struct member, which in
turns causes warnings and invalid kernel-doc generation.
Fix this by replacing the catch-all (".") with anything that's not a
semicolon ("[^;]").
