[PATCH 1/2] libnvdimm: nd.h: clean up kernel-doc warnings

From: Randy Dunlap

Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 13:38:11 EST


Add missing struct member, function parameters, and function return
values to eliminate all kernel-doc warnings:

Warning: include/linux/nd.h:124 struct member 'common' not described in 'nd_namespace_io'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:124 Excess struct member 'dev' description in 'nd_namespace_io'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:166 function parameter 'flags' not described in 'nvdimm_read_bytes'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:166 No description found for return value of 'nvdimm_read_bytes'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:185 function parameter 'flags' not described in 'nvdimm_write_bytes'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:185 No description found for return value of 'nvdimm_write_bytes'
