[PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Fix the return value in mesh_path_add() kernel-doc

From: Karl Mehltretter

Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 03:28:56 EST


mesh_path_add() has returned the new (or the already existing) struct
mesh_path, or an ERR_PTR(), since commit ae76eef027f7 ("mac80211: return
new mpath from mesh_path_add()"), but its kernel-doc still says
"Returns: 0 on success". Describe the pointer.

Fixes: ae76eef027f7 ("mac80211: return new mpath from mesh_path_add()")
