Subject: Spurious warning in checkpatch.pl?

Andy,

The checkpatch.pl version in mainline is issuing what I think are false warnings 
of the type

WARNING: networking block comments put the trailing */ on a separate line
#93: FILE: drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/wifi.h:208:
+       u32 rf_rb;              /* rflssi_readback */

Is a trailing comment for the member of a struct not allowed?

Thanks,

Larry
