Hello Alexander.

Can I suggest to you (and to David) that the
multiline comment style:

/*
 * comment
 */

is fine and doesn't need correcting here at the
initial bits of a file before any actual code has
been written?

Assuming David agrees, I'll see about updating
checkpatch to avoid this warning at the beginning
of files.
