I do think that in general it makes little sense for low-level drivers to document internal functions using kerneldoc. As a general approach I would prefer to just switch drivers to '/*' or to remove stale comments instead of trying to keep up with the "docrot" warnings. kerneldoc cleanups are great for functions that actually have more than one user (core code, libraries, common code used by multiple drivers, etc.). Whereas for driver internals I would much rather emphasize function arguments with well-chosen, descriptive names instead of a kerneldoc "@p: pointer to a foobar" comment that will inevitably become stale next time an interface changes.

I'm inclined to agree. There is even a script to list the 'offenders': `scripts/find-unused-docs.sh` An effort to demote all unused docs is likely to be somewhat more controversial than one to re-sync the attribute/parameter descriptions though. I choose the path of least resistance for my clean-up effort. Nothing stopping us having another pass once they are all re-synced. > [01/24] scsi: aacraid: Repair two kerneldoc headers > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/b115958d91f5 > [02/24] scsi: aacraid: Fix a few kerneldoc issues > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/cf93fffac261 > [03/24] scsi: aacraid: Fix logical bug when !DBG > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/2fee77e5b820 > [04/24] scsi: aacraid: Remove unused variable 'status' > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/0123c7c62d6c > [05/24] scsi: aacraid: Demote partially documented function header > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/71aa4d3e0e78 > [06/24] scsi: aic94xx: Document 'lseq' and repair asd_update_port_links() header > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/966fdadf6fea > [07/24] scsi: aacraid: Fix a bunch of function header issues > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/f1134f0eb184 > [08/24] scsi: aic94xx: Fix a couple of formatting and bitrot issues > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/d2e510505006 > [09/24] scsi: aacraid: Fill in the very parameter descriptions for rx_sync_cmd() > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/ae272a95133a > [10/24] scsi: pm8001: Provide descriptions for the many undocumented 'attr's > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/e1c3e0f8a2ae > [11/24] scsi: ipr: Fix a mountain of kerneldoc misdemeanours > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/a96099e2c164 > [12/24] scsi: virtio_scsi: Demote seemingly unintentional kerneldoc header > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/e31f2661ff41 > [13/24] scsi: ipr: Remove a bunch of set but checked variables > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/4dc833999e37 > [14/24] scsi: ipr: Fix struct packed-not-aligned issues > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/f3bdc59f9b11 > [15/24] scsi: myrs: Demote obvious misuse of kerneldoc to standard comment blocks > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/8a692fdb1d04 > [17/24] scsi: be2iscsi: Fix API/documentation slip > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/abad069ef0da > [18/24] scsi: be2iscsi: Fix misdocumentation of 'pcontext' > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/dbc019a48f97 > [19/24] scsi: be2iscsi: Add missing function parameter description > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/7405edfdfb96 > [20/24] scsi: lpfc: Correct some pretty obvious misdocumentation > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/09d99705b5d2 > [21/24] scsi: aic7xxx: Remove unused variable 'ahd' > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/91b6e191c4dc > [22/24] scsi: aic7xxx: Remove unused variables 'wait' and 'paused' > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/532d56c631f1 > [23/24] scsi: aic7xxx: Fix 'amount_xferred' set but not used issue > https://git.kernel.org/mkp/scsi/c/42b840bcfc16 >
