Need to document the new field, including when it was added.  Something
like:

# @NetdevBridgeOptions
#
# Connect a host TAP network interface to a host bridge device.
#
# @br: #optional bridge name
#
# @helper: #optional command to execute to configure bridge
#
# @prefix: #optional prefix to use in naming the bridge, default
#          "tap" (since 2.0)
#
# Since 1.2
