Some comment styles in net and drivers/net are flagged inappropriately.
Avoid proclaiming inline comments like:
int a = b; /* some comment */
and block comments like:
/*********************
* some comment
********************/
are defective.
Tested with
$ cat drivers/net/t.c
/* foo */
/*
* foo
*/
/* foo
*/
/* foo
* bar */
/****************************
* some long block comment
***************************/
struct foo {
int bar; /* another test */
};
