Hi Mateusz, Jacob, all,

If you need to respin this for some reason, please consider updating
the Kernel doc for the following to include a short description.
Else, please consider doing so as a follow-up

* struct virtchnl_ptp_caps
* struct virtchnl_phc_time

Likewise as a follow-up, as it was not introduced by this patch, for:

* virtchnl_vc_validate_vf_msg

Flagged by kernel-doc -none -Wall

The above not withstanding, this looks good to me.
