It maybe documented, but it isn't kerneldoc, for 2 reasons; a) it
doesn't meet the standards required qualify as kerneldoc i.e. it's
missing descriptions for each of the function parameters, which is why
the kerneldoc checker is complaining about it and b) it is not
referenced by any *.rst file:

git grep kernel-doc::.*cpufreq_governor.c
/* no results */

So what is the justification for keeping it as kerneldoc?
