Me neither. I actually found it annoying to have all kernel-doc above
the type definition and indeed easy to miss fields. Now struct
ieee80211_hw is not alone and we have it all over the place in the
wireless subsystem. Is this something we want to embrace and maybe
find janitors/newbies/coccinelle-gurus to address it. Not sure if
coccinelle could deal with this.

I don't think coccinelle can look into comments, though perhaps it
could be used to *place* them - use kernel-doc script to extract them
first, and then make that output a coccinelle script to place the
comment back at the right spot?

Overall though, not sure that's worth it over just doing it by hand
once? Then again, that could be used to mass-convert more ... :)
