I actually did use a simple script to do a conversion locally, but the hard
part is determining what text to use for the description. So my local
conversion just added:
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("TBD");

Then, on a per-directory basis, I look at documentation in the .c files and
the Kconfig to replace the TBD with an appropriate description. And I then
create patches for that directory based upon MAINTAINERS entries.

This was the only file in drivers/ras that had an issue.

In drivers/hid there were a large number of issues.
Some of the files had specific MAINTAINERS entries so I sent them separately:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240604-md-hid-lg-g15-v1-1-265b094db089@xxxxxxxxxxx/

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240603-md-hid-logitech-hidpp-v1-1-060f06e4529f@xxxxxxxxxxx/

I then sent a large patch for all of the remaining drivers/hid patches:
