No, I didn't face any issues with this script.

The suggestion cames from the script at:

	./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check

which is meant to discover broken doc references. 

Such script has already a rule to handle stuff under tools/:

		# Accept relative Documentation patches for tools/
		if ($f =~ m/tools/) {
			my $path = $f;
			$path =~ s,(.*)/.*,$1,;
			next if (grep -e, glob("$path/$ref $path/../$ref $path/$fulref"));
		}

but it seems it needs a fixup in order for it to stop reporting issues
at test_bpftool_synctypes.py:

	$ ./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check 
	...
	tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_bpftool_synctypes.py: Documentation/bpftool-prog.rst
	tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_bpftool_synctypes.py: Documentation/bpftool-map.rst
	tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_bpftool_synctypes.py: Documentation/bpftool-cgroup.rst

I'll drop the patches touching it for a next version, probably
adding a fix for such script.

Thanks,
Mauro
