[PATCH 0/1] add a make target to generate man pages from kernel-doc

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

Currently, generation of manpages is hacky: one needs to run
kernel-doc over c source files and then use an extra script to
split results.

The new kernel-doc tool supports multiple files and even dirs,
so there's no need to use git ls-files anymore.

Yet, it produces a single output. Change the logic to add, instead
a target to docs Makefile to produce them, moving the split
and build logic to sphinx-build-wrapper.

That allows honoring SPHINXDIRS when they point to a subdir,
while scanning all files by default.
