Why did you remove the ()?  And why didn't you delete the blank line?
According to our documentation, the canonical form is:

  /**
   * function_name() - Brief description of function.
   * @arg1: Describe the first argument.
   * @arg2: Describe the second argument.
   *        One can provide multiple line descriptions
   *        for arguments.

I don't usually complain about people getting that wrong, but when
people correct it to be wrong ...
