Thanks for your reminder.

Can the properties of this programming interface be documented also together
with the function declaration for the safer handling of ALSA components?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/sound/kernel-api/writing-an-alsa-driver.rst?id=d6d5df1db6e9d7f8f76d2911707f7d5877251b02#n567

Can any more API information help to improve automatic source code analysis
around similar functions?

Regards,
Markus
