[PATCH v3] kernel-doc: handle arrays with arithmetic expressions asinitializers

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Borislav Petkov <bbpetkov@xxxxxxxx>

In a different approach here's a patch that handles the special case of
composite arithmetic expressions in array size initializers. With it,
prior to pushing the split strings on the @first_arg array, I split the
keywords before the array name as before and then keep the array name
along with the subscript expression as a single whole element which gets
pushed last. In this manner, kernel-doc produces correct output without
removing whitespaces which makes the array subscripts unreadable in the docs.
