The % prefix should actually be kept here I think. Per the kernel-doc
documentation [1]:

%CONST
Name of a constant. (No cross-referencing, just formatting.)

Examples:

%0 %NULL %-1 %-EFAULT %-EINVAL %-ENOMEM

So %0 is valid and intentional kernel-doc markup that renders the
constant 0 with proper formatting.

The struct removal part looks good though.
