The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
There are files in drivers/net/wireless/rsi 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 drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_coex.h
causes this warning:
"warning: wrong kernel-doc identifier on line:
 * Copyright (c) 2018 Redpine Signals Inc."

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.

* The patch series applies perfectly on next-20210312

Aditya, thanks for starting to clean up the repository following your
investigation on kernel-doc warnings.

The changes to all those files look sound.

However I think these ten patches are really just _one change_, and
hence, all can be put into a single commit.

Hints that suggest it is one change:

- The commit message is pretty much the same (same motivation, same
explanation, same design decisions)
- The change is basically the same (same resulting change in different files)
- All patches are sent to the same responsible people, all of the
patches would be reviewed and accepted by the same people.
- All ten patches can be reviewed at once.

How about merging all ten patches into one patch and sending out a v2.

I agree, this is one logical change to a single driver so one patch will
suffice. I think for cleanup changes like this one patch per driver is a
good approach.

Thanks for the feedback Lukas and Kalle. I will be sending the
modified v2.

Thanks
