If you want this to be kernel-doc format with no warnings,
(a) all of the " * BUS_NOTIFY_..." lines should be " * @BUS_NOTIFY_...";
(b) all of the " * @BUS_NOTIFY_..." lines should be immediately after the
second ("enum") line. (at [1])
(c) In the heading "enum" line, s/: / - /, but that's just for consistency
and to follow kernel-doc documented format; it seems that kernel-doc takes
that separator either way.

The patch below (on top of this one) makes all of these changes.
