[PATCH] software_node: Add kernel-doc comments to exported symbols

[Daniel Scally <djrscally@gmail.com>]

A number of functions which are exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() lack any
kernel-doc comments; add those in so all exported symbols are documented.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Scally <djrscally@gmail.com>

With a view to maybe writing some documentation once the fwnode_graph_*()
functions are also added.
