Just sent a fix for the above:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/commit/?h=docs-next&id=263bbae9c1bf6ea7c14dad8c29f9b3148b2b5de7

I was able to fix the other two typedef warnings with:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/commit/?h=docs-next&id=b32909983ab03e03504bb44d5c66f44b9d57adc3

Basically, I had to:

1) Make kernel-doc ignore __user;
2) typedef the function argument for v4l2_ctrl_add_handler();
3) not let kernel-doc generate :cpp:function: for function typedefs.

With DocBook, we used kernel-doc to produce a page for typedef
functions. Now, such capability got lost. Not sure if/how
Sphinx would support it.

Thanks,
Mauro
