Missing Return section. Always try kernel-doc validation when adding
new kernel-doc descriptions.

Why? Doesn't 'ret' suffice?

For all your patches: try really hard to avoid the ping-pong coding,
i.e. when you add something in one patch in the series and change in
the other for no reason. I.o.w. when the initial code may be written
already in a form that doesn't need further changes (e.g., switch-case
vs. if).

This patch is *very* noisy due to the above. So, just slow down, try a
new approach that you have less '-' lines in the diff:s all over the
code.
