I'm ok with that for those inlined kernel-doc stuff. On
the changes at the uapi/linux/media.h, I would prefer if
you could add the documentation together with the patch,
as it makes clearer for the reviewers. As you only
touched it on one or two patches, this won't cause any
breakages on the remaining patches.

Mauro
