H A Dkernel-docdiff 8aaf297a0dd66d4fac215af24ece8dea091079bc Mon Jun 05 09:01:21 CEST 2023 Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> docs: scripts: kernel-doc: accept bitwise negation like ~@var

In some cases we'd like to indicate the bitwise negation of a parameter,
e.g.

~@var

This will be helpful for describing the atomic andnot operations, where
we'd like to write comments of the form:

Atomically updates @v to (@v & ~@i)

Which kernel-doc currently transforms to:

Atomically updates **v** to (**v** & ~**i**)

Rather than the preferable form:

Atomically updates **v** to (**v** & **~i**)

This is similar to what we did for '!@var' in commit:

ee2aa7590398 ("scripts: kernel-doc: accept negation like !@var")

This patch follows the same pattern that commit used to permit a '!'
prefix on a param ref, allowing a '~' prefix on a param ref, cuasing
kernel-doc to generate the preferred form above.
