> Thanks for doing this.  Note that some of the existing kernel-doc comments for these hooks include a separate line describing each parameter (not just embedded in the function description) and a line describing the return value.  Is that optional for kernel-doc? Obviously what you have added here is an improvement, just wondering whether it suffices or needs further augmentation.

Hi Stephen,

The additional kernel-doc comments that you refer to are obviously Good to Have,
but they are not required.  I didn't feel comfortable or qualified to add
all of that info, but if anyone wants to help/contribute, please do so.

thanks.
