Just use /* here since this is not a kernel-doc comment.
/** is reserved for kernel-doc comments/notation.
I use checkpatch.pl to check my patch, it show one warning, then I change * to **.ÂÂ I will change it back to *.
It should be more like:

/* Use network device events to create/remove/rename
* debugfs file entries.
*/

Got it. Thanks.
