I've thought that netdev specifically requires that type of comments*. But
I don't have any strong opinion on that, so if needed - can change easily
in the next version.

Thanks a lot!

*Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt

Q: Someone said that the comment style and coding convention is different
    for the networking content.  Is this true?

A: Yes, in a largely trivial way.  Instead of this:

         /*
          * foobar blah blah blah
          * another line of text
          */

    it is requested that you make it look like this:

         /* foobar blah blah blah
          * another line of text
          */
