[PATCH v2] docs: kdoc: fix struct_group_tagged() parsing regression
From: Omokefe Emmanuel Onanaroghene
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 17:12:45 EST
kernel-doc reports struct_group_tagged() members as excess because
the macro transformation rewrites it to an anonymous struct and drops their
member names.
Keep the tag and member name when transforming struct_group_tagged(). The
nested members are then recorded as names such as fast.order; accept the
existing unqualified @order documentation tag during validation.
Add a regression test based on struct page_pool_params.
