These are the new warnings that I saw:

Warning(..//include/linux/workqueue.h:271): No description found for parameter 'w'
Warning(..//include/linux/workqueue.h:271): Excess function parameter 'work' description in 'delayed_work_pending'
Warning(..//include/linux/workqueue.h:390): Excess function parameter 'args' description in 'alloc_workqueue'
Warning(..//include/linux/workqueue.h:411): Excess function parameter 'args' description in 'alloc_ordered_workqueue'

and Jon has already posted a patch for these.
