Patch 00 contains a little more info:

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1623824363.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/T/#t

Basically, some Kernel developers rely on editor features to jump directly
into other files. Using Documentation/foo.rst enable such features.

It will still generate the same hyper-links in HTML, LaTeX and PDF outputs,
as the automarkup.py extension will convert Documentation/foo.rst into
doc:`foo`.
