I improved the script to better report such issues:

With the line numbers where each occurrence happens, it should be
easier to solve such warnings.

I suspect that, instead of just dropping them, it could make sense to
move driver-specific ones to the ReST file for that driver,
like the ones inside Documentation/leds/.

Makes sense to me. Btw, right now there are 60 warnings like that.
