Subject: linux-next: build warnings after merge of Linus' tree

Hi all,

After merging Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs) produced
these warnings:

include/linux/of.h:1211: warning: Function parameter or member 'output' not described in 'of_property_read_string_index'
include/linux/of.h:1211: warning: Excess function parameter 'out_string' description in 'of_property_read_string_index'

Introduced by commit

a87fa1d81a9f ("of: Fix overflow bug in string property parsing functions")

include/linux/of.h:1480: warning: cannot understand function prototype: 'enum of_overlay_notify_action '

Introduced by commit

39a842e22c1b ("of/overlay: add of overlay notifications")

I assume that these warnings have turned up now due to better(?) tooling.

I am still seeing these warnings (as of next-20210420).
