The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are files in sound/pci/asihpi which follow this syntax in their file headers, i.e. start with '/**' like comments, which causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc. E.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none on sound/pci/asihpi/hpidspcd.h causes this warning: "warning: Cannot understand on line 4 - I thought it was a doc line" Provide a simple fix by replacing the kernel-doc like comment syntax with general format, i.e. "/*", to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
