I'm aware of those, which is why I fixed those /** -> /* while I applied 
your patch so that problem has already been taken care of!

I know the message from lkp sounds like that (and it is slightly 
confusing) but it is to be added only when you're fixing code that has 
already made into a maintainer tree.

If one is submitting entirely new code and lkp finds and issue, one is not 
supposed to add that reported by even if the message tells you to do so. I 
hope this clears any confusion you might have about when it's needed.
