Ick, that looks worse to me now, doesn't it to you?  Please leave the
original as-is.

Paring down CC list to reduce noise for off-topic question.

Quick question: in the trivial case, such as a simple block comment, the
style guide (process/coding-style.rst) proposes this style:

/*
* Some comments that span over several lines until column        limit.
* More comments that span over several lines until column        limit.
*/

Though I see a similar variant often used, which I use by default:

/* Some comments that span over several lines until column        limit.
* More comments that span over several lines until column        limit.
*/

For cases with code plus trailing (lengthy) comment, is it preferred to
let it go past the 80 column limit, or to use one of the following
multi-line styles? ie:

Type I:
#define REG_BCNQ_DESA_8723B                     0x0308   /* TX Beacon Descriptor
                                                         * Address */

Type II (Ugly):
#define REG_BCNQ_DESA_8723B                     0x0308   /* TX Beacon Descriptor
                                                         * Address
                                                         */

Finally, would it be worth proposing the addition of this minor
exception to the style guide?

Thank you.
