Kerneldoc syntax is used, but not complete.  Descriptions required.

Prevents warnings like:

What's wrong with "a pointer to an SPI device"?

I am aware, having looked it up to find out what the above actually
means, that this is how struct spi_device is described in its own kernel
doc but quoting at that level of detail of both overkill and confusing.

I figured that using the official description would be better than
making something up.  However if you think it's better to KISS, then I
can change it.

Yes, I'd strongly prefer KISS here.

I know it is an "I am the world" argument[1] but I found using such a
dogmatically accurate description out of context to be very confusing
and therefore I don't think such a comment improves readability.

It's fine, you are the world, I get it. ;)

Do you even like Country music?

Will fix!
