[PATCH 1/2] kernel-doc: don't let V=1 change outcome

From: Johannes Berg
Date: Fri Jun 02 2023 - 17:00:34 EST


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The kernel-doc script currently reports a number of issues
only in "verbose" mode, but that's initialized from V=1
(via KBUILD_VERBOSE), so if you use KDOC_WERROR=1 then
adding V=1 might actually break the build. This is rather
unexpected.

Change kernel-doc to not change its behaviour wrt. errors
(or warnings) when verbose mode is enabled, but rather add
separate warning flags (and -Wall) for it.
