[PATCH] fonts: fixup font.h kernel-doc warnings

From: Randy Dunlap <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-18 19:13:34
Also in: dri-devel

Use the typedef keyword when describing a typedef.
Add the missing function return value for font_glyph_size().

Warning: include/linux/font.h:84 cannot understand function prototype:
  'typedef const unsigned char font_data_t;'
Warning: include/linux/font.h:53 No description found for return value
  of 'font_glyph_size'
