Is this "*`" intentional or a typo?  I can't find it in kernel-doc.rst
(but it's full of ` and maybe I missed it).

I do see a few other occurrences in the code, although they look like
typos to me:

  $ git grep "\*\`" | grep -v Documentation
  arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-usb.c:	 *`	0x1 = Big endian
  arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-usb.c:	 *`	0x1 = Big endian
  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c:/*`
