it's not about my or your preference. It's about what we all do in the
kernel, documented in Documentation/CodingStyle:

| The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:
|
| /*
| * This is the preferred style for multi-line
| * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
| * Please use it consistently.
| *
| * Description: A column of asterisks on the left side,
| * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
