Some of these seems sort of useful.  It might be better to change
them to doc-book format instead of deleting them:

/**
 * SROMbIsRegBitsOff() - Test if bits off in eeprom
 * @dwIoBase:       I/O base address
 * @byContntOffset: Address of EEPROM
 * @byTestBits:     Bits to test
 *
 * Returns true if all test bits off; otherwise false.
 */

There is a howto in Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt.
