The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. The header for drivers/ipack/carriers/tpci200 follows this syntax, but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc. This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which causes unexpected warning from kernel-doc. For e.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none on drivers/ipack/carriers/tpci200.c emits: warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst * tpci200.c Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it. Also remove the redundant file name from the comment headers.
