Doc style for method functions

Hi Jonathan,

I would like to do something like this:

struct part_driver {
   /**
    * get_info() - Get information about a partition

              ^ causes error

    *
    * @desc: Block device descriptor
    * @part: Partition number (1 = first)
    * @info: Returns partition information
    */
   int (*get_info)(struct blk_desc *desc, int part, struct
disk_partition *info);
...
};

But this gives:

scripts/kernel-doc:292:
   print STDERR "Incorrect use of kernel-doc format: $_";

Without the brackets on get_info() it works OK. What is the purpose of
that check, please?

Regards,
Simon
