[PATCH] tee: clean up tee_core.h kernel-doc

From: Randy Dunlap

Date: Wed Mar 11 2026 - 01:32:13 EST


Use the correct struct member name and function parameter name in
kernel-doc comments.
Move a macro that was between a struct's documentation and its
declaration.
These eliminate the following kernel-doc warnings:

Warning: include/linux/tee_core.h:73 struct member 'c_no_users' not
described in 'tee_device'
Warning: include/linux/tee_core.h:132 #define TEE_DESC_PRIVILEGED
0x1; error: Cannot parse struct or union!
Warning: include/linux/tee_core.h:257 function parameter 'connection_data'
not described in 'tee_session_calc_client_uuid'
Warning: include/linux/tee_core.h:320 function parameter 'teedev'
not described in 'tee_get_drvdata'
