because the in C we prefer in the comment in like that
/*....*/
not like this
/'*'....'*'/
If I used this there is not problem the compiler should read as a comment
because in normal C program we can use comment in these pattern /..../
but according to  Linux kernel Coding style
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle>

And I am not sure it is the best description may be it is not fully correct
if you want to do some change in comment than I can.

Thank you,
