I suspect that the building system tries to confine variables to
sub-directories, so maybe one solution would be to move it to the
main makefile.

could you please check if this patch solves the issue?

[PATCH] Makefile: move KERNELDOC macro to the main Makefile

As kernel-doc script is used not only on Documentation, but
also on scripts and drivers/drm Makefiles, move it to the
main makefile, as otherwise sub-makefiles may not have it.
