/** means kernel-doc syntax and it was not in proper kernel-doc format,
but maybe it could just be a Warning instead of a fatal Error.

Ideally we should pick it up in -next, of course, but I doubt that anyone
is running kernel-doc on linux-next.  I used to do that, but there are
too many errors/warnings.  I suppose that I could just concentrate on
(fatal) Errors in linux-next and ignore the Warnings.
