When anonymous enums are used, the identifier is empty. While, IMO, it should be avoided the usage of such enums, adding support for it is not hard. So, postpone the check for empty identifiers to happen only at the dump phase.

Currently, kernel-doc warns for function prototype parsing on the presence of attributes "__attribute_const__" and "__flatten" in the definition. There are 166 occurrences in ~70 files in the kernel tree for "__attribute_const__" and 5 occurrences in 4 files for "__flatten". Out of 166, there are 3 occurrences in three different files with "__attribute_const__" and a preceding kernel-doc; and, 1 occurrence in ./mm/percpu.c for "__flatten" with a preceding kernel-doc. All other occurrences have no preceding kernel-doc. Add support for "__attribute_const__" and "__flatten" attributes. A quick evaluation by running 'kernel-doc -none' on kernel-tree reveals that no additional warning or error has been added or removed by the fix.

Marvell has an annoying habit of moving stuff around their web site every full moon, and often just removing documents altogether. At this point basically none but four of the links still works and even those that work today weren't working for a long period of time previously. That is a shame because (short of the product briefs) the documents tend to be quite useful. Let's replace them with known working versions of IA's Wayback Machine links. That seems to be about the only way of getting a URL that's going to work the next week.

Dwaipayan Ray authored
Add a new verbose mode to checkpatch.pl to emit additional verbose test descriptions. The verbose mode is optional and can be enabled by the flag -v or --verbose. The test descriptions are parsed from the checkpatch documentation file at `Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst`. The test descriptions in the docs are kept in a fixed format grouped by usage. Some examples of this format are: **LINE_SPACING** Vertical space is wasted given the limited number of lines an editor window can display when multiple blank lines are used. **MISSING_SIGN_OFF** The patch is missing a Signed-off-by line. A signed-off-by line should be added according to Developer's certificate of Origin. To avoid lengthy output, the verbose description is printed only for the first instance of a particular message type. The --verbose option cannot be used along with the --terse option. Verbose mode can be used with the --list-types option. The --list-types output also supports color coding now.

Currently, there are ~1290 occurrences in 447 files in the kernel tree 'typedef struct/union' syntax for defining some struct/union. However, kernel-doc currently does not support that syntax. Of the ~1290 occurrences, there are four occurrences in ./include/linux/zstd.h with typedef struct/union syntax and a preceding kernel-doc; all other occurrences have no preceding kernel-doc.
