Let's move it all the way to the top, right after header includes, so
we don't have to move it again.

Please double check the correct format for kdoc:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html

This comment should also be next to the definition of the function, 
not in the header.
