This sort of puts me into a conundrum. Does networking code use
the short style of comments or not? The documentation says that it does.
I am fine either way, but I need a clear rule.

Networking code used to require

/* for
 * multiline comments
 */

but somewhat recently we switched to accept also the more common

/*
 * multiline comment
 */

Checkpatch accepts both; it's not a deal breaker either ways.
