In netdev coding style we prefer for multiline comments:

/* This is a comment blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
 * blah blah blah.
 */

For single line:

/* This is a comment blah blah blah */

This case, I suggest we can even get rid of that comment there since
it's obvious what set_ect_ip() is doing by reading the function name
and looking at what it returns.
