Subject: [PATCH v2 14/31] tty: tty_driver: document both {,__}tty_alloc_driver() properly
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2025 08:00:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250317070046.24386-15-jirislaby@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250317070046.24386-1-jirislaby@kernel.org>

__tty_alloc_driver()'s kernel-doc needed some care: describe the return
value using the standard "Returns:", and use the new enum tty_driver_flag
for @flags.

Then, the tty_alloc_driver() macro was undocumented, but referenced many
times in the docs. Copy the docs from the above (except the @owner
parameter, obviously).
