[PATCH 08/12] docs: kdoc: Regularize the use of the declaration name
Posted by Jonathan Corbet 3 months, 1 week ago
Each declaration type passes through the name in a unique field of the
"args" blob - even though we have always just passed the name separately.
Get rid of all the weird names and just use the common version.
