Fix multiple kernel-doc warnings in sama7g5.c. There are several
enums and structs that were not identified as such.
There are also several anonymous structs (that scripts/kernel-doc
has problems with), so add struct names to them.

Fixes the following warnings:

Some kernel-doc warnings are still printed, but they are all due to
problems in the kernel-doc script (if anyone is interested in playing
with some Perl :). These warnings are:

sama7g5.c:287: warning: Function parameter or member '{' not described in 'sama7g5_plls'
sama7g5.c:287: warning: Function parameter or member '' not described in 'sama7g5_plls'
sama7g5.c:287: warning: Function parameter or member '}' not described in 'sama7g5_plls'
sama7g5.c:339: warning: Function parameter or member 'sama7g5_mckx' not described in 'master_clock'
sama7g5.c:339: warning: Function parameter or member '}' not described in 'master_clock'
sama7g5.c:360: warning: Function parameter or member 'sama7g5_systemck' not described in 'system_clock'
sama7g5.c:451: warning: Function parameter or member 'sama7g5_periphck' not described in 'periph_clock'
sama7g5.c:451: warning: Function parameter or member '' not described in 'periph_clock'
sama7g5.c:451: warning: Function parameter or member '}' not described in 'periph_clock'
sama7g5.c:841: warning: Function parameter or member 'sama7g5_gck' not described in 'generic_clock'
sama7g5.c:841: warning: Function parameter or member '}' not described in 'generic_clock'

What about keeping only one '*' instead of '**' where necessary as these
data structures are only local to sama7g5.c file (according to
Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst "Functions and data structures in
header files which are intended to be used by modules should also have
kernel-doc comments."). This way all the warnings will be gone.

Sure, that works too.
I'll send an updated patch.

thanks.
