[PATCH] docs: kdoc: strip DOMAIN_NS() wrapper in function prototypes

From: Omokefe Emmanuel Onanaroghene

Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 00:15:38 EST


kernel-doc fails to parse functions whose names are wrapped in the
DOMAIN_NS() namespace macro, e.g. in
drivers/iommu/generic_pt/iommu_pt.h:217:

... expecting prototype for iova_to_phys(). Prototype was for
DOMAIN_NS() instead

function_xforms is the designated place for unwrapping function-name
macros, but it has no entry for DOMAIN_NS(), so the macro name is kept
as the prototype and the real name leaks into the parameter list.

Add a transform expanding DOMAIN_NS(op) to op, following the existing
DEFINE_IDTENTRY_IRQ precedent.

Add a regression test for the wrapped iova_to_phys() declaration.
