[ Upstream commit 51ef7925e10688c57186d438e784532e063492e4 ]
When I run make W=1 on gcc (Debian 7.2.0-16) 7.2.0 I got an error for the first run, all next ones are okay.
CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.o drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union! scripts/Makefile.build:310: recipe for target 'drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.o' failed
Seems like something happened with W=1 and wrong kernel doc format. As a quick fix remove dubious /** in the code.
