But if the comment is in one line, it will exceed 80 characters. The coding style of u-boot is the same as kernel?

Maybe you should read the CodingStyle document, too?

It says:

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. */

Now what exactly is unclear about this?

Happy New Year!

no need to be jerkish about it. the style you quote says "preferred". it is not "required". there are a ton of multiline comments added to the tree which do not strictly fit this format. so rather than me trying to magically read your mind to figure out what you're taking issue with, it's simpler to ask. and for you to respond with something simple like "the trailing */ needs to be on its own line". but of course i'm just guessing here.

This is a pretty clear descriptiuon, and a clear example. If you still don't get it, I cannot help you either. I have no better explanation, and definitely not the time to continue arguing with you on such a level.

Please fix the multiline comment style as described in the CodingStyle document (substituting "preferred" by "required").

please describe in actual words what is wrong with the comment. it looks fine to me. then we can stop this pointless dance around literally nothing and get back to doing real work.

I already quoted the relevant part of the Coding Style file. You would do me and yourself a favour if you just read the document and my messages instead of continuing to brawl.

ive read the document before. it's a lot easier for you to simply say what the problem is instead of me trying to guess what you're thinking and me sending a modified patch one only to have you respond with an equally useless message "read XXX document". in other words, you could have resolved this stupid issue with your very first response.
