I had no idea this exists, thanks a lot for this TIL :-)

I guess the issue here is that this exists, yay, but it's not documented
with the other here:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html#structure-union-and-enumeration-documentation

I guess a patch to kernel-doc.rst would be great. Adding some kernel-doc
folks.

Cheers, Sima
