[PATCH v2] driver core: device.h: add some missing kerneldocs

From: James Seo
Date: Mon May 08 2023 - 22:52:25 EST


struct device_attribute, struct dev_ext_attribute, dev_name(), and the
DEVICE_ATTR() macros lack kerneldocs, preventing them from appearing in
the driver core documentation and from being cross-referenced elsewhere.

Add the missing kerneldocs (except for DEVICE_ATTR_IGNORE_LOCKDEP(),
which is only meaningful on debug builds with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
defined, and is aliased to DEVICE_ATTR() otherwise).
