There is no verb in the description, and is not clear what
this function does unless one reads the code. Given that this
is DOC, this should be clearer here. Something like "queue
scheduler work to be executed" or something to that effect.
Coming back to this from reading the patch below, it was somewhat
unclear what "drm_sched_submit_queue()" does, since when reading
below, "submit" was being read by my mind as an adjective, as opposed
to a verb. Perhaps something like:
drm_sched_queue_submit(), or
drm_sched_queue_exec(), or
drm_sched_queue_push(), or something to that effect. You pick. :-)
Note that it doesn't have to be 100% reflective of the fact that
we're putting this on a workqueue and it would be executed sooner
or later, so long as it conveys the fact that we're executing this
scheduler queue.

This if-conditional, I would've written:
if (submit_wq) {
sched->submit_wq = submit_wq;
sched->alloc_submit_wq = false;
} else {
sched->submit_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(name, 0);
if (!sched->submit_wq)
return -ENOMEM;
sched->alloc_submit_wq = true;
}
It's easier to understand testing for positivity, than negativity.

Please rename it to what it actually describes:
alloc_submit_wq --> own_submit_wq
to mean "do we own the submit wq". Then the check becomes
the intuitive,
if (sched->own_submit_wq)
destroy_workqueue(sched->submit_wq);

This is a good patch.
