Thanks for the helpful feedback - I appreciate you taking the time to review this.

In v3 I'll:

1.Remove the parentheses from function names to match virtio conventions;

2.Simplify all descriptions to focus on purpose rather than repeating code mechanics;

3.Consolidate return value documentation to essential information only.

The revised patch will maintain W=1 warning fixes while aligning with the kernel's documentation philosophy. I'll send the update shortly.

Best regards,
Peng Jiang
