scripts: kernel-doc: accept negation like !@var
On a few places, it sometimes need to indicate a negation of a parameter, like: !@fshared This pattern happens, for example, at: kernel/futex.c and it is perfectly valid. However, kernel-doc currently transforms it into: !**fshared** This won't do what it would be expected. Fortunately, fixing the script is a simple matter of storing the "!" before "@" and adding it after the bold markup, like: **!fshared** Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/0314b47f8c3e1f9db00d5375a73dc3cddd8a21f2.1586881715.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
