Is this "*`" intentional or a typo? I can't find it in kernel-doc.rst
(but it's full of ` and maybe I missed it).

I do see a few other occurrences in the code, although they look like
typos to me:

$ git grep "\*\`" | grep -v Documentation
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-usb.c: *` 0x1 = Big endian
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-usb.c: *` 0x1 = Big endian
