Most probably it doesn't..
Tried this:
/*
 [ other values description ]
 * private:
 * @__<NAME>_MAX
 */
and this:
/*
 [ other values description ]
 * private: @__<NAME>_MAX
 */

Both are not working as we would expect.

Do you mean to have double comments for enums? like:
/*
 [ other values description ]
 */
/*
 * private:
 * @__<NAME>_MAX
 */

Hmm, do you recall where I can find proper format of such ignore enum comment
for kdoc generation?
Or maybe we need to also submit patch to some kdoc build process to actually
change the current behavior?

Sure can fix this.

Yep, makes sense, trying to find some way...
