This confused me for quite a bit, until I saw in
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst that *sources* get // but *headers*
get /*.  The rationale seems to be based on the behavior of old toolchains
when processing assembly code, linker scripts, etc.  Doesn't seem terribly
relevant to non-kernel projects...

I can still "fix" it if you want.
