include/net/cfg80211.h includes a number of kerneldoc entries for struct
members that do not exist, leading to these warnings:

  ./include/net/cfg80211.h:3192: warning: Excess struct member 'band_pref' description in 'cfg80211_bss_selection'
  ./include/net/cfg80211.h:3192: warning: Excess struct member 'adjust' description in 'cfg80211_bss_selection'
  ./include/net/cfg80211.h:6181: warning: Excess struct member 'bssid' description in 'wireless_dev'
  ./include/net/cfg80211.h:6181: warning: Excess struct member 'beacon_interval' description in 'wireless_dev'
  ./include/net/cfg80211.h:7299: warning: Excess struct member 'bss' description in 'cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp_data'

Remove and/or repair each entry to address the warnings and ensure a proper
docs build for the affected structures.

Yes, that should also be fixed at some point.

What Jon is trying to do here is address a boatload of new kernel-doc warnings of the
"Excess struct member" variety.

I try to periodically check for kerneldoc warnings in wireless trees but
I have never seen these. Am I missing something or did you do something
special (enable new warnings etc.)?

There are new patches from both Kees Cook and me to report Excess kernel-doc
descriptions, so now there are a bunch of kernel-doc warnings that we are working
to fix quickly.  :(
