Series batman-adv: use inline kernel-doc for uapi constants |

  The enums of constants for netlink tends to become rather large over time.
Documenting them is easier when the kernel-doc is actually next to constant
and not in a different block above the enum.

Also inline kernel-doc allows multi-paragraph description. This could be
required to better document the netlink command types and the expected
return values.

check for example include/uapi/linux/nl80211.h for some documentation which
starts to become really massive.

Just wanted to mention that this could also have been written [1] as:

	/** @BATADV_CMD_GET_GATEWAYS: Query list of gateways */

I was just lazy and formatted everything as multiline comment instead of 
checking whether any of the entries would fit in a single line comment.

Kind regards,
	Sven

Thanks Sven, I think this really improves readability. Applied in commit 
dcad23d0.

Thank you,
