That opening brace should be on a line by itself:

int efi_partition_by_guid(struct block_device *bdev, efi_guid_t *guid)

and the kernel-doc function description should be like so:

/**
 * efi_partition_by_guid - find the first (only) matching guid on a block device

or some such short function description.
