That's sort of my point - the question is ... can we knowingly introduce
those warnings, or should we paper over them by excluding the files
until the documentation is moved over as is done in this patch.

If we remove the lines:
               @TOP_BUILDDIR@/include/libcamera/ipa/raspberrypi_*.h \
               @TOP_BUILDDIR@/include/libcamera/ipa/vimc_*.h \
               @TOP_BUILDDIR@/include/libcamera/ipa/rkisp1_*.h \
               @TOP_BUILDDIR@/include/libcamera/ipa/ipu3_*.h \

from above, I think what will happen is some warnings will be
introduced, which will mean we must then handle the documentation for
RPi/Vimc/RKISP/IPU3 as a priority.

Either way, as long as it all gets done is what matters.
