There are folks who use the kernel 'make' command to build the
documentation, and report issues from that. But my understanding is that
'make' only processes the source files that are referenced by the
kernel's .rst files. So if a source file has documentation, but that
source file is not included by one of the .rst files, it won't normally
be processed.

It is only by running kernel-doc directly against the sources that you
can spot these issues.
