The "standard" is the Linux CodingStyle:

------------------------- snip ----------------------
The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:

	/*
	 * This is the preferred style for multi-line
	 * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
	 * Please use it consistently.
	 *
	 * Description:  A column of asterisks on the left side,
	 * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
	 */

------------------------- snip ----------------------

Regarding the space above and blow, I'm not aware of any "standard".
Please apply common sense.

Not that I'm aware of.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
