I also noticed these kernel-doc warnings and had some patches queued for
them. May I suggest the following in this case:

 * @IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE_PERM: IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE not taking into account
 * 	underlying stacked devices

I presume that a patch for netdev ptype lists is forthcoming. Here's
what I had:

 *	@ptype_all:     Device-specific packet handlers for all protocols
 *	@ptype_specific: Device-specific, protocol-specific packet handlers
