doxygen: fix two issues when building with doxygen 1.9.8 (#10768)

* doxygen: remove @return command if function return void

When doxygen is upgraded to v1.9.8 (on ubuntu 24.04), doxygen
reports: "doxygen error: found documented return type for xxx
that does not return anything" for those functions which return
void but declare "@return" in doxygen comment.

Solution: remove "@return" for those cases, and update
guide document for how to write doxgen comment for functions.

* doxygen: fixed a minor typo for uart doc

This error is found when building with doxygen 1.9.8, but not
detecetd on 1.9.1.
