[PATCH] kernel-doc: allow unnamed structs/unions

[PATCH] kernel-doc: allow unnamed structs/unions

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Make kernel-doc support unnamed (anonymous) structs and unions.
There is one (union) in include/linux/skbuff.h (inside struct sk_buff)
that is currently generating a kernel-doc warning, so this
fixes that warning.

[PATCH] kernel-doc: remove myself from MAINTAINERS

[Martin Waitz]

I don't have the time to work on Linux Documentation, so I really
should document that in MAINTAINERS.  With Randy, kernel-doc is in
good hands anyway.
