Subject: [RFC v3] scripts: kernel-doc: fix typedef support for struct/union parsing
Date:   Thu, 25 Feb 2021 20:20:33 +0530

In-Reply-To: <CAKXUXMzHPnM=ie06ZGuFXyJ7RcRjYomjyASbp3ND9-Mb2Es+2w@mail.gmail.com>

Precedence: bulk

Currently, there are ~1290 occurrences in 447 files in the kernel tree
'typedef struct/union' syntax for defining some struct/union. However,
kernel-doc currently does not support that syntax. Of the ~1290
occurrences, there are four occurrences in ./include/linux/zstd.h with
typedef struct/union syntax and a preceding kernel-doc; all other
occurrences have no preceding kernel-doc.

Add support for parsing struct/union following this syntax.
