Please eliminate these warnings.

"/**" means "this is kernel-doc format", which should look like:

/**
 * enum thames_msg_type - Simplified message type enumeration
 */

and then each enum value should be documented as well.

Or you could just use "/*" so that they aren't considered as
kernel-doc.
