Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs: kernel-doc comments are ASCII

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

kernel-doc parsing uses as ASCII codec, so let people know that
kernel-doc comments should be in ASCII characters only.

WARNING: kernel-doc '../scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno ../drivers/media/dvb-core/demux.h' processing failed with: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6368: ordinal not in range(128)
