The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are certain files in include/linux/pci*, 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 include/linux/pci-ep-cfs.h at header causes this warnings by kernel-doc: "warning: expecting prototype for PCI Endpoint ConfigFS header file(). Prototype was for __LINUX_PCI_EP_CFS_H() 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.
