Note about overlapping here would be useful.


I'd like to reduce duplicate documentation where possible. I was
This is exactly what .rst files can provide.

If you have a proper kernel-doc type documentation in header/source files, these can be directly used in .rst files.

The reStructuredText (.rst) files may contain directives to include structured documentation comments, or kernel-doc comments, from source files.

ex:
.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/gunyah.h
:internal:


--srini
generally following this procedure:
 - include/uapi/linux/gunyah.h docstrings have basic information to remind what the field is
 - Documentation/virt/gunyah/ documentation explains how to properly use the APIs

I think it's definitely good idea to have separate documentation beyond what can be described in docstrings here.

Thanks,
