That would be awesome if we could do that, but as a minimum, I think
that new in-line struct / union comments should follow
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.3/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html#in-line-member-documentation-comments
and completely new struct / unions should follow
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.3/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html#in-line-member-documentation-comments,
and in particular the internal locking guidelines what members are
protected with what locks and, if applicable, how. (For example a
member may be protected by two locks when writing to it and only one of
the locks when reading).
