Right, your way is simpler.

Almost. It needs to look only on *.[ch] files because otherwise it fires on that
	very same diff to checkpatch.pl too:

$ git diff | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -

...

WARNING: block comments use an empty /* line
#15: FILE: scripts/checkpatch.pl:2059:
+                            "block comments use an empty /* line\n" . $herecurr);


Also, we need to catch this obvious case:

        /*
         * This is a wrong comment. */


IOW, something like a modified version of yours below. It doesn't catch
every wrong comment form out there but it should be a start.
