scripts/kernel-doc: Fix struct and struct field attribute processing
The kernel-doc attempts to clear the struct and struct member attributes from the API documentation it produces. It falls short of the job in the following respects: - extra whitespaces are left where __attribute__((...)) was removed, - only a single attribute is removed per struct, - attributes (such as aligned) containing numbers were not removed, - attributes are only cleared from struct fields, not structs themselves. This patch addresses these issues by removing the attributes. Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
