The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are certain files in drivers/crypto/nx, 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 lines for drivers/crypto/nx/nx-sha256.c at header causes these warnings: "warning: Function parameter or member 'tfm' not described in 'nx_crypto_ctx_sha256_init'" "warning: expecting prototype for SHA(). Prototype was for nx_crypto_ctx_sha256_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.
