From 85ad978c626a425c0bacd137bf15403e867c9134 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:49:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: ignore networking block comment style first lines in file It's very common to have normal block comments for the initial comments of a file description preface. So for files in drivers/net and net/ don't emit a warning when the first comment block in the file uses the normal block comment style and not the networking block comment style.
