Hi!

Looks like the new python kernel-doc does not warn when there are
stray arguments in function kdoc. Eg

/**                                                                             
 * ksz_wol_pre_shutdown - Prepares the switch device for shutdown while         
 *                        considering Wake-on-LAN (WoL) settings.               
 * @dev: The switch device structure.                                           
 * @wol_enabled: Pointer to a boolean which will be set to true if WoL is       
 *               enabled on any port.                                           
 *                                                                              
 * This function prepares the switch device for a safe shutdown while taking    
 * into account the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) settings on the user ports. It updates    
 * the wol_enabled flag accordingly to reflect whether WoL is active on any     
 * port.                                                                        
 */                                                                             
static void ksz_wol_pre_shutdown(struct ksz_device *dev)


AIs seem to catch it but that's not ideal..

Yes, hopefully we can have this patch merged soon:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260507023232.4108680-1-shuicheng.lin@intel.com/

giving:
Warning: init/test001.c:13 Excess function parameter 'wol_enabled' description in 'ksz_wol_pre_shutdown'
