The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
The header for arch/arm/mach-sa1100/jornada720_ssp.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 these warnings from kernel-doc:
"warning: Function parameter or member 'jornada_ssp_lock' not described in 'DEFINE_SPINLOCK'"
"warning: expecting prototype for mac(). Prototype was for DEFINE_SPINLOCK() instead"
Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
