Subject: [PATCH v2] jffs2: remove C++ style comments from uapi header

Linux kernel tolerates C++ style comments these days. Actually, the
SPDX License tags for .c files start with //.

On the other hand, uapi headers are written in more strict C, where
the C++ comment style is forbidden.

I simply dropped these lines instead of fixing the comment style.

This code has been always commented out since it was added around
Linux 2.4.9 (i.e. commented out for more than 17 years).

'Maybe later...' will never happen.

Looks like this trivial patch missed the pull request.


My motivation is to make sure UAPI headers
are really compilable in user-space,
and now checked by the following commit:

commit d6fc9fcbaa655cff2d2be05e16867d1918f78b85
Author: Masahiro Yamada <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Jul 1 09:58:40 2019 +0900

kbuild: compile-test exported headers to ensure they are self-contained



Is there a chance for it being merged,
or must wait until v5.4-rc1 ?

Damn, I forgot about this one.
I'll do another fixes PR this week for UBI/UBIFS, so it will be
in tree before the next merge window opens.

Sorry for the delay!
