Thanks, I'll fix both typos in v2.

Indeed, right now there is no kernel-doc for "object-like" macros in
Docbook.

I am preparing documentation for not-yet-upstreamed code in
drivers/crypto/caam and I thought it would be useful to use kernel-doc
for some of the #defines.

Doc would look like this (no @param list, no "Return" section, only a
description):

/**
* DEFAULT_SEC_ERA - the default value for the SEC era in case the user
* provides an unsupported value.
*/
#define DEFAULT_SEC_ERA 6

Regards,
Horia
