kernel-doc: add support for one line inline struct member doc comments
kernel-doc supports documenting struct members "inline" since a4c6ebede2f9 ("scripts/kernel-doc Allow struct arguments documentation in struct body"). This requires the inline kernel-doc comments to have the opening and closing comment markers (/** and */ respectively) on lines of their own, even for short comments. For example: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** * @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Add support for one line inline comments: /** * struct foo - struct documentation */ struct foo { /** @bar: member documentation */ int bar; }; Note that mixing of the two in one doc comment is not allowed; either both comment markers must be on lines of their own, or both must be on the one line. This limitation keeps both the comments more uniform, and kernel-doc less complicated.
