Well, for function names to be caught by kernel-doc tools,
you need to say usb_bulk_msg() (without ``, with () appended).

So, the diff should look:

-driver. Instead we call the :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg` function, which can be used
+driver. Instead we call usb_bulk_msg(), which can be used
 to send or receive data from a device without having to create urbs and
-handle urb completion callback functions. We call the :c:func:`usb_bulk_msg`
+handle urb completion callback functions. We call usb_bulk_msg(),
 giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from
