After merging the net-next tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
produced these warnings:

include/linux/virtio.h:172: warning: Excess struct member 'features' description in 'virtio_device'
include/linux/virtio.h:172: warning: Excess struct member 'features_array' description in 'virtio_device'

Introduced by commit

  e7d4c1c5a546 ("virtio: introduce extended features")  

I am still seeing those warnings.  That commit is now in Linus' tree.  

I'm sorry for the latency, I was off-the-grid in the past weeks.

I observed that warnings in an earlier revision of the relevant patch,
but I thought the previous commit:

eade9f57ca72 ("scripts/kernel_doc.py: properly handle
VIRTIO_DECLARE_FEATURES")

addressed it. At least I can't see the warnings locally while running:

make V=1 C=1 htmldocs

Perhaps it's sphinx version dependent? I'm using sphinx-build 7.3.7
Could you please share the exact command line and tools version used?

I have been using the (older) perl version because it coped with files
being missing.  The (newer) python version (which you run) now seems
to cope to have been enhanced, so I sill start using it instead.  It
(as you say) does not report the above warnings, so I will ignore them
as well.
