kernel-doc fails to parse function definitions like the one below

efi_status_t efi_create_event(uint32_t type, efi_uintn_t notify_tpl, void (EFIAPI *notify_function) ( struct efi_event *event, void *context), void *notify_context, efi_guid_t *group, struct efi_event **event) {

due to the "EFIAPI" attribute preceding the function name.
