Some of them can be fixed by adding the parent struct name, like so:

-                * @broadcast_rgb: Connector property to pass the
+                * @hdmi.broadcast_rgb: Connector property to pass the

but I think even that falls apart at some point. :(

In the end might be easier to separate the struct definitions to reduce
nesting.
