It seems mm_inline.h is not a part of generated API docs, otherwise
kerneldoc would be unhappy about missing Return: description.
kernel-doc doesn't warn about that by default.

    # This check emits a lot of warnings at the moment, because many
    # functions don't have a 'Return' doc section. So until the number
    # of warnings goes sufficiently down, the check is only performed in
    # verbose mode.
    # TODO: always perform the check.
    if ($verbose && !$noret) {
            check_return_section($file, $declaration_name, $return_type);
    }
