See the numerous emails on this subject already. The issue of C vs C++ comments has come up many times by many different people, but the result is the same. That's not going to happen. Linux kernel C files are required to use "//" for the SPDX identifier by order of Linus Torvalds. Linus has also revealed in that discussion that he has a preference for "//" style commenting for single comments, so it seems that the kernel coding style may change - but there is no desire for patches to "clean up" single line comments to use "//". For further information, and to see the discussion that has already happened, the arguments that have been made about style, see the threads for the patch series that tglx has been posting wrt documenting the SPDX stuff for the kernel.
