Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 14:59:15 -0300 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...pensource.com> To: Linux Media Mailing List <linux-media@...r.kernel.org>, Jonathan Corbet <corbet@....net> Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...pensource.com>, Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...radead.org>, Linux Doc Mailing List <linux-doc@...r.kernel.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch> Subject: [PATCH 05/10] docs: kernel-doc.rst: improve structs chapter There is a mess on this chapter: it suggests that even enums and unions should be documented with "struct". That's not the way it should be ;-) Fix it and move it to happen earlier.
