The documented source line is

  const struct drm_vram_mm_funcs drm_gem_vram_mm_funcs = {

and I tried to document the purpose of the constant 'drm_gem_vram_mm_funcs'.

Documenting global constants is not described in the kernel guide and I
could not find a source-code example either. Function and struct style
with '-' didn't work; member-field style with '@' neither. The only way
seems to be adding it to an .rst file in Documentation. But then it's
not part of the API documentation, but somewhere in the text.

Best regards
Thomas
