The above causes some versions of perl to fail, as keys expect a
hash argument:

Execution of .//scripts/kernel-doc aborted due to compilation errors.
Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash (not private array) at .//scripts/kernel-doc line 2714, near "@highlights) "

This is happening at linuxtv.org server, with runs perl version 5.10.1.

I had to revert this patch in order to be able to keep building the
documentation of the media kABI on our server.

Regards,
Mauro
