Thanks to share your opinion. For coherence I'd personally use the // style, for
two reasons. The first one is because I already sent some similar patches for
other drivers/files I am maintaining and I used this format. The second one, is
because I have received some complaints (on other subsystem) when I used the
c-style format.

But again, I'll let the final decision to Archit and Andrzej as drm/bridge
maintainers and send a v2 after know his opinion.

Best regards,
 Enric
