That causes, for instance, struct sci_power_control to be shown this this prototype: struct sci_power_control { * it is not. */ bool timer_started; */ struct sci_timer timer; * requesters field. */ u8 phys_waiting; */ u8 phys_granted_power; * mapped into requesters via struct sci_phy.phy_index */ struct isci_phy *requesters[SCI_MAX_PHYS]; }; as comments won't start with "/*" anymore. Fix the logic to detect such cases, and keep adding the comments inside it.
