We can see in the diff this is making changes in s626.c :) no need to mention
that in the commit message.

Not sure moving the opening and closing of comments (/* and */) to a new line
makes things more readable. checkpatch is a great tool but it gives suggestions,
not hard rules.
Just a comment since I've seen multiple people follow checkpatch blindly, and
it is best to use your discretion.

Maintainer of this code will probably have a preference.

Thank you for your patches Ravishankar.

Luis
