There are a few namespace clashes by using c:macro everywhere: basically, when using it, we can't have something like:
.. c:struct:: pwm_capture .. c:macro:: pwm_capture So, we need to use, instead: .. c:function:: int pwm_capture (struct pwm_device * pwm, struct pwm_capture * result, unsigned long timeout) for the function declaration. The kernel-doc change was proposed by Jakob Lykke Andersen here: https://github.com/jakobandersen/linux_docs/commit/6fd2076ec001cca7466857493cd678df4dfe4a65 Although I did a different implementation.
