No, it can not.  Not directly.

Please remember that checkpatch is a trivial set
of regexes and that checkpatch looks only at
patch diff blocks line-by-line.

A patch block that changes a function argument
may not also contain the kernel-doc.

As there already is an existing tool, that tool
should be used when possible.
