I believe you get a kernel-doc warning. Always test kernel doc with

	scripts/kernel-doc -v -none -Wall ...your file...

Ditto.

Does it make sense before the below check? Why can we be interested in the
_exact_ negative values? (Note that non-printing is already a sign that either
we don't call this or have negative constraint.)
