Subject: docs: kdoc_files: move output symbols logic to kdoc_output
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ab2ca3dd127194a55bd9789c031e800fd19c254;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

docs: kdoc_files: move output symbols logic to kdoc_output

When writing unittests for kdoc_output, it became clear that
the logic with handles a series of KdocItem symbols from
a single file belons to kdoc_output, and not to kdoc_files.

Move the code to it.

While here, also ensure that self.config will be placed
together with set.out_style.
