Subject: [PATCH] software_node: Add kernel-doc comments to exported symbols

A number of functions which are exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() lack any
kernel-doc comments; add those in so all exported symbols are documented.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Scally <[email protected]>

With a view to maybe writing some documentation once the fwnode_graph_*()
functions are also added.

FWIW, Heikki used to have a draft patch of swnode documentation, not sure
what's the current status of it.

Period at the end.

I'm a bit confused by amount of fwnode_handle in the comments, can you replace
them with better approach depending on the case:
- &struct fwnode_handle
- a parameter as @fwnode or so
- a general mention (better to use plain English here, something like firmware
node handle or so)

Yeah ok, I was trying to do &struct fwnode_handle on the first reference
(or at least earliest that it would fit) and then fwnode_handle
thereafter, but I think I like the suggestion to drop to plain English
at that point instead, so I'll do that (and ditto for software_node /
software node)

I actually had a similar patch prepared as part of the series adding
the documentation for software nodes, but your comments are better
than mine. So, after you have addressed Andy's comments:

Great, thanks - and for the other R-bs just now also. I'll send a v2 of
this one tonight/tomorrow (depends how much else I get through)
