Hi Bertrand,

When you submit a new version of the same patch, you
should specify in the subject the version number and
in the body changes summary, just as example below:

for subject:
[PATCH v2] Improve Power Management in SMC911X driver

and for body see where it is placed:

v2 - fix multi-line comment style.

This still does not look good, because there is one line comment
and just after it a multi-line comment.
Isn't it makes sense to unify them into one multi-line comment?
