Can I suggest, in future, 'make W=1'. That will run the kernel-doc
script which would presumably have caught this problem. If we get all
the existing doc errors cleaned up, we can promote that to be run as
part of the standard build, but until then we don't want to dump 700
new errors on everybody.
