Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v3 27/30] docs: kdoc_parser:
minimize differences with struct_group_tagged

While the previous version does a better job representing the actual
struct, it ends losing documentation from each member.

Change the replacements to minimize such changes. With that, the only
differences before/after using NestedMatch new replacement logic are
(at man page output):
