I have noticed these differences in the code and thought about it too.
From Holger, first hand:
/*
* multi
* line
*/
Holger's approach is the general style according to the Linux kernel
coding style. That is the reference point that I have used.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle
vs. from Harald (?), via hearsay:
/* multi
* line */
This is a modified form of the net/ and drivers/net style of the Linux
kernel where the comment close is on the same vs. separate lines.
/* multi
* line
*/
I prefer Holger's comment style, however, I have limited say in this battle.
