Hi Nick,

Several of the source (.c, .h) files use comments blocks that
begin with "/**", which means "this is the beginning of a kernel-doc
comment" when in the kernel source tree. However, they are not in
kernel-doc format.

During the automatic generation from upstream zstd, please find a way
to change /** to /*.

This does need to slow down the acceptance of this patch series IMO.


thanks.
