Looks basically Ok, but there are some few problems with the comments.

The original spacing was better.

Frankly I would just leave these as is since it's barely over the 80
char mark.  But if you really want to change them then linux multi-line
commenting style is described in Documentation/CodingStyle

The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:

        /*
         * This is the preferred style for multi-line
         * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
         * Please use it consistently.
         *
         * Description:  A column of asterisks on the left side,
         * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
         */

Please redo the comments and resend.
