[PATCH] iio: tsl2772: fix all kernel-doc warnings
Posted by Randy Dunlap 1 month, 1 week ago
Use the correct kernel-doc notation for struct members to eliminate
kernel-doc warnings:

Warning: include/linux/platform_data/tsl2772.h:88 struct member
 'prox_diode' not described in 'tsl2772_settings'
Warning: include/linux/platform_data/tsl2772.h:88 struct member
 'prox_power' not described in 'tsl2772_settings'

Hmm... I do not see any of the user of this header file.
Have you checked if these values are even used?
Perhaps we can simply kill all this?

But if Jonathan wants to take this as a quick fix to make less
warnings appear effective immediately I'm fine with the change

I've picked it up because even if we do rip out platform data support
it's likely the structures will remain and then we'll want them
to have correctly formatted docs

So applied

Thanks,

Jonathan

They are used in drivers/iio/light/tsl2772.c.

It's the same driver. So it's *not* a user of the platform data.

Under 'kill' I meant the following:
- inline the content of the file to the c-file
- recheck the c-file for the unused fields and drop them for good

Alternatively converting c-file to use device properties instead
of platform data.

We have done many times in the past such transformations in other
drivers.

AFAICT all macros and structs and struct members from that header file are used
in tsl2772.c.

Would that be "violating" this commit?
commit 436d42c61c3e
Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date:   Fri Aug 24 15:22:12 2012 +0200

    ARM: samsung: move platform_data definitions
    
    Platform data for device drivers should be defined in
    include/linux/platform_data/*.h, not in the architecture
    and platform specific directories.

> - recheck the c-file for the unused fields and drop them for good

All used AFAICT.

That's your area, I guess.

I think the proposal is to remove platform data support entirely from
this driver on basis we have no upstream users.

There are defaults in driver for the stuff that can still come from
platform data.  Note there is generic property support for a bunch
of other stuff (i assume for DT).

So I'd be fine with a patch that removes this header and the use
of platform data in the driver. Easiest path to that is as Andy described
in putting the defs in the c file, plus only using the driver defaults
(so no more 'real' platform data).
