It is only convention. Look at the .rst output:

0 if the SEV successfully processed the command
-``ENODEV``    if the SEV device is not available
-``ENOTSUPP``  if the SEV does not support SEV
-``ETIMEDOUT`` if the SEV command timed out
-``EIO``       if the SEV returned a non-zero return code

vs

0 if the SEV successfully processed the command
``-ENODEV``    if the SEV device is not available
``-ENOTSUPP``  if the SEV does not support SEV
``-ETIMEDOUT`` if the SEV command timed out
``-EIO``       if the SEV returned a non-zero return code

so in the html output of this, the minus sign will be displayed either
with text font or with monospaced font as part of the error type.

I wanna say the second is better as the '-' is part of the error code
but won't waste too much time debating this. :)

Btw

$ ./scripts/kernel-doc include/linux/psp-sev.h

complains a lot. Might wanna fix those up when bored or someone else
who's reading this and feels bored too. :-)

Thx.
