The original patchset for nested structs was supporting it only
when not inlined. This should be fixed on this patchset:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/19/387
Do you have those patches on your tree?
With regards to duplicated warnings, that use to happen if the same header
is included several times (with is a common pratice at the net subsystem).
I also submitted some patches to linux-next addressing it.
Could you please merge from docs-next and see if those problems
get solved?
It is located at:
git://git.lwn.net/linux.git docs-next
Thanks,
Mauro
