When we need to comment on audit_buffer structs we usually refer to it
as "the audit buffer" or similar, e.g. kernel/audit*, and in
lsm_audit.c the term "audit data to fill" is typically used by the
common_audit_data struct. Please update this patch to something like
the following:

/**
* ...
* @ab: the audit buffer
* ...
*/
