Hi all,

After merging the pinctrl tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
produced this warning:

include/linux/gpio/driver.h:284: warning: Function parameter or member 'parent_handler_data_array' not described in 'gpio_irq_chip'

Introduced by commit

  cfe6807d82e9 ("gpio: Allow per-parent interrupt data")

But may actually be a problem with the tool :-(  
I guess the tool doesn't like having two fields that are part of a
union documented together... Happy to tweak it if someone tells me how
this should be written.
Yes, that's the case. See, when you do:

	/**
	 * @parent_handler_data:
	 * @parent_handler_data_array:
	 *
	 * Data associated, and passed to, the handler for the parent
	 * interrupt. Can either be a single pointer if @per_parent_data
	 * is false, or an array of @num_parents pointers otherwise.  If
	 * @per_parent_data is true, @parent_handler_data_array cannot be
	 * NULL.
	 */
	union {
		void *parent_handler_data;
		void **parent_handler_data_array;
	};

The tool will understand it as an undocumented "parent_handler_data" and
a documented "parent_handler_data_array".

It has to do that, as otherwise it won't get cases where people just adds a
@foo: as a template but actually forgets to fill it.

The solution would be to add a description for both, e. g. something
similar to:

	/**
	 * @parent_handler_data:
	 *
	 * If @per_parent_data is false, contains a single pointer 
	 * with the data associated, and passed to, the handler for the 
	 * parent interrupt.
	 *
	 * @parent_handler_data_array:
	 *
	 * If @per_parent_data is true, it should contain an array of 
	 * @num_parents pointers with the data associated, and passed to,
	 * the handler for the parent interrupt. Cannot be NULL.
	 */

Regards,
Mauro
