Seems that kernel-doc does not consider () as a valid match for the
identifier :)
 
Can you please check with the below patch?

Subject: [PATCH] scripts: kernel_doc: fixup reporting of function identifiers

When function description includes brackets after the function name as
suggested by Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc, the kernel-doc script
omits the function name from "Scanning doc for" report.
Extending match for identifier name with optional brackets fixes this
issue.
