The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are certain files in drivers/crypto/vmx, which follow this syntax, but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc. Such lines were probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but are parsed due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc. E.g., presence of kernel-doc like comment in the header line for drivers/crypto/vmx/vmx.c causes this warning by kernel-doc: "warning: expecting prototype for Routines supporting VMX instructions on the Power 8(). Prototype was for p8_init() instead" Similarly for other files too. Provide a simple fix by replacing such occurrences with general comment format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
