Hey all,
This was already brought up by Heinrich Schuchardt, but didn't get much traction. So, I'm bringing it up again now. The little feedback from that thread was we should move to Linux Kernel style tags. I'm going to propose that we do just that, for v2018.05. I'll play with coccinelle to get it done. Comments? Thanks!
We rejected C++ style comments for a long long time , both in U-Boot and in Linux. Why do we accept them now ? I find them horrid and they only bring inconsistency into the coding style.
The only place they'll now be allowed, just like with the Linux Kernel, is for the first line SDPX tag in some file formats. Bringing us in line with how the kernel goes is overall a good thing I believe.
