Subject: [PATCH] net: kdoc struct net_device flags and priv_flags
From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>
We have documentation for these flags but they're scattered
all over the place. #defines don't allow documentation to be
written easily so to help to start bringing some documentation
together use the enums kdoc practice but keep the defines to
allow userspace to be able to #ifdef them.
I've verified the same values are assigned before and after
with a simple userspace test program [0] and checksumming the
output.
