Yes this is documented in Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst:

``%CONST``
  Name of a constant. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)

My understanding is that this formating should be used for the constant
NULL and not for literal values, such as 0.

What you do think? Should I revert to using a straight 0 in the return
value doc?
