I am confused by this comment. I was told in the past that it was better
to put the comments in the API header. On your side do you want me to
move all function kernel-doc comments to the implementation.

Looking at kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt, I was not able to find any
indication about the best choice.

I will now run the kernel-doc script to check the conformance of my
comments.

Thank you for your patience!

Best Regards

Eric
