minor: fix multi-line comment style (search for 'multi-line' in
Documentation/CodingStyle)

Also minor, but personally, I prefer seeing A15/A7 instead of eagle/KFC
as those names are fading from my memory and I can't seem to remember
which one is which. :/

I tested this on top of mainline (v4.2) using exynos_defconfig (with
BL_SWITCHER disabled) and I now see all 8 CPUs booting.  Nice!

Tested-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman at linaro.org>

Also, please note that this does not fix another fundamental problem
with this board in that the firmware puts CCI into secure mode, so
linux/MCPM cannot manage it, causing hangs whenever CPUidle is enabled
(because b.L cpuidle driver tries to use MCPM, which needs to manage
CCI.)

In order for this to not hang when using CPUidle, the following patch is
also needed.
