nitpicking: the summary line should not end with a dot.
multi line comments in u-boot are commonly
/* * I span * multiple lines */
So while at it, you might want to add the empty opening line as well.

point taken, i can resubmit.

in cases like this, it's kind of a judgment call. if that's truly a strict standard, then sure. but i'm pretty sure there's a *lot* of the above type of comment in the source and when i'm just fixing comments, i prefer to make as unobtrusive a change as possible.
i'll let wolfgang decide, and i'll go with whatever he chooses. note carefully that you used the phrase "commonly", without claiming that it's a hard and fast standard, which is why i left it alone.

If you are editing these, then please also fix the multi-line comment style as suggested. Thanks.

so what is the actual standard? besides the above, line space above? line space below? because i see all sorts of variations in the code, the most common of which is:
... snip ... static int mod_mem(cmd_tbl_t *, int, int, int, char * const []);
/* Display values from last command. * Memory modify remembered values are different from display memory. */ static uint dp_last_addr, dp_last_size; ... snip ...
which, as you can see, has a leading blank line but not a following one. so what's correct? is this written down somewhere?

The "standard" is the Linux CodingStyle:
------------------------- snip ---------------------- 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. */
------------------------- snip ----------------------
Regarding the space above and blow, I'm not aware of any "standard". Please apply common sense.

Not that I'm aware of.
