The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of kernel-doc comments. The header for drivers/crypto/chelsio/chcr_core.c follows this syntax, but the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.
This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which causes unexpected warning from kernel-doc: "warning: wrong kernel-doc identifier on line: * This file is part of the Chelsio T4/T5/T6 Ethernet driver for Linux." Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
