Subject[PATCH] x86/sgx: fix incorrect kernel-doc comment syntax in files
Date
The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
There are certain files in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx, which follow this
syntax, but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.
Such lines were probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but are parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc.

E.g., presence of kernel-doc like comment in the header lines for
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/encl.h causes this warning:
"warning: expecting prototype for 2016(). Prototype was for _X86_ENCL_H() instead"

Similarly for arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/arch.h too.

Provide a simple fix by replacing these occurrences with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
