No big deal here, but I try to make subject lines and commit logs a
little more specific.  "Fix doc warning" doesn't give any real
information, but something like "Add num_mws kernel-doc" would.

No need to repeat "pci-epf-vntb" in the subject; one mention is
enough.

What is "latest commit"?  A SHA1 would make this unambiguous.

This patch happens to apply cleanly on 1b929c02afd3 ("Linux 6.2-rc1"),
but I think the hunk gets applied in the wrong place.

8e4bfbe644a6 ("PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: fix error handle in
epf_ntb_mw_bar_init()") added a "num_mws" parameter to
epf_ntb_mw_bar_clear() but failed to add kernel-doc for num_mws.

This patch adds kernel-doc for num_mws on *epf_ntb_mw_bar_init()*,
which doesn't have a num_mws parameter, so after applying it, I see
*two* kernel-doc warnings:

  $ make W=1 drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-vntb.o
  drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-vntb.c:602: warning: Excess function parameter 'num_mws' description in 'epf_ntb_mw_bar_init'
  drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-vntb.c:658: warning: Function parameter or member 'num_mws' not described in 'epf_ntb_mw_bar_clear'
