#1417897 — [PATCH v4 17/29] staging: unisys: visorbus: fix commenting in vbusdevinfo.h

From: David Binder <david.binder@unisys.com>

This patch ONLY touches comment lines, i.e., NO executable code is
affected.

* All functions worthy of documenting now use standard kerneldoc
  formatting.
* Multi-line comments were tweaked so as to use appropriate conventions.
* Minor typos were corrected.
