Package: linux-doc-5.10
Version: 5.10.209-1
Severity: important

The backport of commit 3080ea5553cc "stddef: Introduce
DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper" modified scripts/kernel-doc and
introduced a syntax error:

Global symbol "$args" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $args"?) at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 1236.
Global symbol "$args" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $args"?) at ./scripts/kernel-doc line 1236.
Execution of ./scripts/kernel-doc aborted due to compilation errors.

This doesn't stop the documentation build process, but causes the
documentation that should be extracted by kernel-doc to be missing
from linux-doc-5.10.

We should be able to fix this by eithering backport commit
e86bdb24375a "scripts: kernel-doc: reduce repeated regex expressions
into variables" or replacing /$args/ with /([^,)]+)/.
