> prototype
> 
> Recent kernels now complain about incorrect function prototype comments,
> in order to ensure comments are accurate to the function. However, it
> incorrectly associates the comment above the fm10k_pci_tbl[] as
> a function header comment. Fix this by removing the extra "*" in the
> comment. This normally indicates that the function is a doxygen style
> function header comment.
> 
> Once removed, the logic no longer kicks in and the following warning is
> fixed:
> 
>   warning: cannot understand function prototype: 'const struct pci_device_id
> fm10k_pci_tbl[] = '
