Don't user kerneldoc comments for functions that are not really in
kerneldoc format. Just a simple /* at the start will be fine, otherwise

So what happens today with these "broken" devices? Does simply reading
the vendor id not work properly? What specific hardware does not work

I think this patch set needs a bit of reworking at the very least...
