As stated in coding-styles.rst multiline comments should be structured in a way, that the actual comment starts on the second line of the commented portion. E.g:
/* * Multiline comments * should look like * this. */ However, there is an exception to files in drivers/net/ and net/, where multiline comments are prefered to look like this: /* Mutliline comments for * drivers/net/ should look * like this. */ The comments in this file initially looked like the first example. But since this file is part of a networking driver and thus should be moved to drivers/net/ one day, this patch adjusts the comments such that they are fitting to the style imposed for drivers/net/.
