Yeah, maybe. Yet, according with:

	https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/domains.html#c-roles

c:type: should only be used together with ".. c:type", and this
doesn't work anymore for declaring structs, as the only valid
ways of using it after Sphinx 3.0 are:

	.. c:type:: typedef-like declaration
	.. c:type:: name

So, the old syntax generated by kernel doc:

	.. c:type:: struct foo

Doesn't work anymore. Kernel-doc now uses, instead:

	.. c:struct:: foo

(if version >= 3.0)

So, the right tag would be: :c:struct`foo`, if Sphinx > 3
or c:type:`foo` for older versions.

Better to rely on having the automarkup solving this for
us.

Good point.

I'll change those too for the next version.
