[PATCH 0/9] docs: Fix kernel-doc -Werror and moves it to tools/docs

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

Hi Jon,

After a restful weekend and revisiting both yours and my series,
I'm opting to send a patch series merging both into one:

- The first 4 patches are from my series (no changes since v5):
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1768642102.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/T/#m81211c0ff38bbaa82b8b0b6606f242ccc0c2a9ac

- It follows by the 2 patches from your renaming series:
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20260119111745.4694546b@foz.lan/T/#m51099c31a99dccccdb4d17cbaadc818e9e4df8c4

  with the fix I proposed for kernel-doc to find its libraries

I added 3 patches afterwards:

  - patch 5: move possible return values from docstring to helper message;
  - patch 6: improve MsgFormatter description;
  - patch 7: moves kerneldoc_bin from conf.py to the sphinx/kerneldoc.py
    (this is now just a debugging message - no need to pick it from env)

IMO, this series is ready to be merged.

NOTE:
    I didn't rename kernel-doc to kernel_doc.py nor added any symlinks.
    If we want some day to use sphinx autoparse extension, we can do it
    later. I guess we can also revisit it during -rc period, if needed.

Regards,
Mauro
