Please note that you need /** to start a kernel doc. Other than that.

I didn't find a template in coding-style.rst, and saw someone is using
/*, others use /**. I will use '/**' instead. Thanks for telling.

How to format kernel-doc comments
---------------------------------

The opening comment mark ``/**`` is used for kernel-doc comments. The
``kernel-doc`` tool will extract comments marked this way. The rest of
the comment is formatted like a normal multi-line comment with a column
of asterisks on the left side, closing with ``*/`` on a line by itself.

See Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst for more details.
Hope that can help you.

Thanks,
Chao Fan

Great, there's a specific kernel-doc file. Thanks, I will update and
repost this one with '/**'.

In that file, there is also some sample for a function comment:

Function documentation
----------------------

The general format of a function and function-like macro kernel-doc comment 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.
   *
   * A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
   * that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
   * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
   * comment lines.
   *
   * The longer description may have multiple paragraphs.
   *
   * Context: Describes whether the function can sleep, what locks it takes,
   *          releases, or expects to be held. It can extend over multiple
   *          lines.
   * Return: Describe the return value of function_name.
   *
   * The return value description can also have multiple paragraphs, and should
   * be placed at the end of the comment block.
   */


Anyway, I think you can get more information in that document.

Thanks,
Chao Fan
