The problem seems to be the

@ignore_usecount=true

part in __intel_runtime_pm_get_if_active()'s docbook documentation. I
can't see the problem with it, it was meant as a reference to the
function parameter, granted I'm not sure what's the proper markup syntax
for this.

I will follow up with the following change which suppresses the warning
and renders the html as expected unless someone can suggest a better
way:

- * If @ignore_usecount=true, a reference will be acquired even if there is no
+ * If @ignore_usecount is true, a reference will be acquired even if there is no
