[PATCH 59/59] drm/doc: Document kapi doc expectations

[Daniel Vetter]

We've had this already for anything new. With my drm_prime.c cleanup I
also think documentations for everything already existing is complete,
and we can bake this in as a requirements subsystem wide.

+Documentation Requirements for kAPI
+-----------------------------------
+
+All kernel APIs exported to other modules must be documented, including their
+datastructures and at least a short introductory section explaining the overall
+concepts. Documentation should be put into the code itself as kerneldoc comments
+as much as reasonable. Do not blindly document everything, but document only
+what's relevant for driver authors: Internal functions of drm.ko and definitely
+static functions should not have formal kerneldoc comments. Use normal C
+comments if you feel like a comment is warranted. Similar for data structures,
+annotate anything entirely private with ``/* private: */`` comments as per the
+documentation guide.

-Add missing kerneldoc for exported functions
---------------------------------------------
-
-The DRM reference documentation is still lacking kerneldoc in a few areas. The
-task would be to clean up interfaces like moving functions around between
-files to better group them and improving the interfaces like dropping return
-values for functions that never fail. Then write kerneldoc for all exported
-functions and an overview section and integrate it all into the drm book.
-
-See https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/ for what's there already.
