So, these do not follow kdoc syntax, and they are only local functions,
i.e. it does not make sense to fix something that is already broken.

Having parameter descriptions for these is quite useless thing to
maintain so you could just remove parameter descriptions, and make
just a normal multi-line comment.

E.g.

/*
 * Clear the pending input.
 */
static u8 clear_interruption(struct st33zp24_dev *tpm_dev)

For the 2nd the current description is barely even a proper sentence,
and it does not tell what the function does. Also for that you know
what it does already, since it is just implementing the callback.

So for that, just remove the comment altogether.

Please add to the next patch version:
