Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc: allow unnamed structs/unions
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.20-rc2~24
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=134fe01bfafa74e691d84bf15666fb30e89896ff;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] kernel-doc: allow unnamed structs/unions

Make kernel-doc support unnamed (anonymous) structs and unions.  There is
one (union) in include/linux/skbuff.h (inside struct sk_buff) that is
currently generating a kernel-doc warning, so this fixes that warning.
