Currently there really aren't any preconditions, so kernel-doc would
repeat the function name and parameters without adding any real
information, but I think it would be good to add a few explanatory
comments.  It always seems obvious when writing it, but it's never so
obvious without all the context ;)

I don't feel strongly either way, but am inclined to do the same as
pci_enable_ptm() and pcie_ptm_enabled(), which are both EXPORT_SYMBOL.
We could change all of them at once if it's worthwhile.  Currently
there's only one caller (igc) in the tree.
