static functions never need to be converted to kerneldoc, as no
documentation would need to be created for them.

All that needs to be done here is, at the most:
/* get protocol name */

But really, given that the function name is pretty good, there's no need
for a comment about it at all, right?

Same for lots of other ones in this patch.
