I had a patch for this but apparently I didn't send it since
Mauro's patch had been merged. My patch is dated June 15-2020:


From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

Fix kernel-doc warnings in <linux/gpio/driver.h>:

../include/linux/gpio/driver.h:512: warning: Function parameter or member 'gc' not described in 'gpiochip_add_data'
../include/linux/gpio/driver.h:512: warning: Excess function parameter 'chip' description in 'gpiochip_add_data'

Fixes: 959bc7b22bd2 ("gpio: Automatically add lockdep keys")
