Hi Jakub,
Removing the documentation from here and keeping it in kdoc results in
below checkpatch,
CHECK: spinlock_t definition without comment
#69: FILE: drivers/net/ethernet/ti/icssg/icssg_prueth.h:300:
+ spinlock_t vtbl_lock;
What should be done here? Should I,
1. Move the documentation to kdoc - This is will result in checkpatch
2. Keep the documentation in kdoc as well as inline - This will result
in no warnings but duplicate documentation which I don't think is good.
I was not sure which one takes more precedence check patch or kdoc, thus
put it inline thinking fixing checkpatch might have more weightage.
Let me know what should be done here.
