+Nested structs/unions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is possible to document nested structs unions, like::

+ /**
+ * struct nested_foobar - a struct with nested unions and structs
+ * @arg1: - first argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @arg2: - second argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @arg3: - third argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @arg4: - fourth argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+ * @bar.st1.arg1 - first argument of struct st1 on union bar
+ * @bar.st1.arg2 - second argument of struct st1 on union bar
+ * @bar.st2.arg1 - first argument of struct st2 on union bar
+ * @bar.st2.arg2 - second argument of struct st2 on union bar
+ struct nested_foobar {
+ /* Anonymous union/struct*/

+ struct {
+ int arg1;
+ int arg2;
+ } st1;
+ struct {

+ int arg2;
+ } st2;
+ } bar;
+ };
+
+.. note::
+
+ #) When documenting nested structs or unions, if the struct/union ``foo``
+ is named, the argument ``bar`` inside it should be documented as
+ ``@foo.bar:``
+ #) When the nested struct/union is anonymous, the argument ``bar`` on it
+ should be documented as ``@bar:``

There are several places within the Kernel tree with nested structs/unions, like this one: struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info { const char *name; enum { CGU_CLK_NONE = 0, CGU_CLK_EXT = BIT(0), CGU_CLK_PLL = BIT(1), CGU_CLK_GATE = BIT(2), CGU_CLK_MUX = BIT(3), CGU_CLK_MUX_GLITCHFREE = BIT(4), CGU_CLK_DIV = BIT(5), CGU_CLK_FIXDIV = BIT(6), CGU_CLK_CUSTOM = BIT(7), } type; int parents[4]; union { struct ingenic_cgu_pll_info pll; struct { struct ingenic_cgu_gate_info gate; struct ingenic_cgu_mux_info mux; struct ingenic_cgu_div_info div; struct ingenic_cgu_fixdiv_info fixdiv; }; struct ingenic_cgu_custom_info custom; }; }; Currently, such struct is documented as: **Definition** :: struct ingenic_cgu_clk_info { const char * name; }; **Members** ``name`` name of the clock With is obvioulsy wrong. It also generates an error: drivers/clk/ingenic/cgu.h:169: warning: No description found for parameter 'enum' However, there's nothing wrong with this kernel-doc markup: everything is documented there. It makes sense to document all fields there. So, add a way for the core to parse those structs. With this patch, all documented fields will properly generate documentation.
