There's no definition of this function anywhere.  Maybe just remove all of
this?

It's for documentation purposes...

It's a "method" (callback) function.

This is kerneldoc documentation for the PCS methods - there's no other
way to document the method parameters than to use "fake" function
prototypes.

I see, that's an unfortunate shortcoming of kerneldoc.

Applied, thanks.
