kernel-doc parser mishandles declarations split into lines
Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::
struct something {
struct foo
bar;
};
has to be::
struct something {struct foo bar;};
Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::
struct something {struct foobar;};
Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::
warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'
Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).
