The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are files in block/partitions/ 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 block/partitions/ldm.h causes this warning: "warning: expecting prototype for ldm(). Prototype was for _FS_PT_LDM_H_() instead" Provide a simple fix by replacing such occurrences with general comment format, i.e., "/*", to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
