Subject: [PATCH net] ethtool: reformat kerneldoc for struct ethtool_link_settings
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 16:53:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zfy5g35h.fsf@meer.lwn.net> (raw)

The kernel doc comments for struct ethtool_link_settings includes
documentation for three fields that were never present there, leading to
these docs-build warnings:

  ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'supported' description in 'ethtool_link_settings'
  ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'advertising' description in 'ethtool_link_settings'
  ./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'lp_advertising' description in 'ethtool_link_settings'

Remove the entries to make the warnings go away.  There was some
information there on how data in >link_mode_masks is formatted; move that
to the body of the comment to preserve it.
