OK, I'll address that.

I've thought about it, but I don't think those comments should become part of 
the kernel documentation. They're really about driver internals, and meant for 
the driver developers. In particular only a subset of the driver is documented 
that way, when I've considered that the code or structures were complex enough 
to need proper documentation. A generated doc would then be quite incomplete 
and not very useful, the comments are meant to be read while working on the 
code.
