[PATCH] Phonet: fix kernel-doc syntax in file headers

[Aditya Srivastava]

The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
The header for include/*/linux/phonet.h files follows this syntax, but
the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.

This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warning from kernel-doc.
For e.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none include/linux/phonet.h emits:
warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst
 * file phonet.h

Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

Hi,
This all looks good, but it would be even better to remove
the file names. We tend to prefer not to have filenames in their files
because they get moved or renamed -- and because it's redundant info.

Anyway,

You could just as well remove the stray "file XX" lines but OK.

[PATCH v2] Phonet: fix kernel-doc syntax in file headers and remove file names

[Aditya Srivastava]

The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
For e.g., the header for include/linux/phonet.h follows this syntax, but
the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.

This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warning from kernel-doc:
warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst

Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

Also remove the redundant file name from the comment headers.
