The "standard" is the Linux CodingStyle:

------------------------- snip ----------------------
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.
         */

------------------------- snip ----------------------

Regarding the space above and blow, I'm not aware of any "standard".
Please apply common sense.

Not that I'm aware of.
