There are several places within the Kernel tree with nested
structs/unions, like this one:
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char *name;
enum {
CGU_CLK_NONE = 0,
CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0),
CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1),
CGU_CLK_GATE = BIT(2),
CGU_CLK_MUX = BIT(3),
CGU_CLK_MUX_GLITCHFREE = BIT(4),
CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5),
CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6),
CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7),
} type;
int parents[4];
union {
struct ingenic_cgu_pll_info pll;
struct {
struct ingenic_cgu_gate_info gate;
struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux;
struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div;
struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv;
};
struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom;
};
};
Currently, such struct is documented as:
**Definition**
::
struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info {
const char * name;
};
**Members**
``name``
name of the clock
With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error:
drivers/clk/ingenic/cgu.h:169: warning: No description found for parameter 'enum'
However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything
is documented there.
It makes sense to document all fields there. So, add a
way for the core to parse those structs.
With this patch, all documented fields will properly generate
documentation.

kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt has a chapter about man pages
production. While we don't have a working "make manpages"
target, add it.

There is a mess on this chapter: it suggests that even
enums and unions should be documented with "struct". That's
not the way it should be ;-)
Fix it and move it to happen earlier.

Move its contents to happen earlier and improve the description
of return values, adding a subsection to it. Most of the contents
there came from kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt.

The private members section can now be moved to be together
with the arguments section. Move it there and add an example
about the usage of public:

Add a new section to describe kernel-doc arguments,
adding examples about how identation should happen, as failing
to do that causes Sphinx to do the wrong thing.

changeset b97f193abf ("scripts/kernel-doc: fix parser
for apostrophes") added support for ``literal`` inside
kernel-doc, in order to allow using the "%" symbol inside
a literal block, as this is used at printk() description.
Document it.

Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't
allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder
to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir.
