[PATCH 1/2] libnvdimm: nd.h: clean up kernel-doc warnings

[PATCH 1/2] libnvdimm: nd.h: clean up kernel-doc warnings

[Randy Dunlap]

Add missing struct member, function parameters, and function return
values to eliminate all kernel-doc warnings:

Warning: include/linux/nd.h:124 struct member 'common' not described in 'nd_namespace_io'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:124 Excess struct member 'dev' description in 'nd_namespace_io'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:166 function parameter 'flags' not described in 'nvdimm_read_bytes'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:166 No description found for return value of 'nvdimm_read_bytes'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:185 function parameter 'flags' not described in 'nvdimm_write_bytes'
Warning: include/linux/nd.h:185 No description found for return value of 'nvdimm_write_bytes'

[PATCH 2/2] nvdimm-btt: clean up kernel-doc warnings

[Randy Dunlap]

Add one missing kernel-doc description and drop one that shouldn't be
here in order to avoid kernel-doc warnings:

Warning: ./drivers/nvdimm/btt.h:232 struct member 'nd_region' not described in 'btt'
Warning: ./drivers/nvdimm/btt.h:232 Excess struct member 'lanes' description in 'btt'
