PATCH 1/1 scripts/kernel-doc: fix fatal error caused by cfg80211.h

From: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>

include/net/cfg80211.h uses __must_check in functions that have kernel-doc notation. This was confusing scripts/kernel-doc, so have scripts/kernel-doc ignore "__must_check".

Error(include/net/cfg80211.h:2702): cannot understand prototype: 'struct cfg80211_bss * __must_check cfg80211_inform_bss(...)

Thanks Randy, I'd seen this a little while ago but not gotten around to investigating.
