The opening comment mark '/**' is used for kernel-doc comments. There are certain comments in include/linux/fsl/guts.h which follows this syntax, but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.
E.g., opening comment for "Freecale 85xx and 86xx Global Utilties register set" follows kernel-doc syntax(i.e., '/**'), but the content inside does not comply with any kernel-doc specification (function, struct, etc). This causes unwelcomed warning from kernel-doc: "warning: expecting prototype for Freecale 85xx and 86xx Global Utilties register set(). Prototype was for __FSL_GUTS_H__() instead" Replace all such comment occurrences with general comment format, i.e. '/*' to pervent kernel-doc from parsing these.
