The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. There are files in sound/pci/ctxfi which follow this syntax in their file headers, i.e. start with '/**' like comments, which causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc. E.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none on sound/pci/ctxfi/ctresource.c causes this warning: "warning: wrong kernel-doc identifier on line: * Copyright (C) 2008, Creative Technology Ltd. All Rights Reserved." Similarly for other files too. Provide a simple fix by replacing the kernel-doc like comment syntax with general format, i.e. "/*", to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
