A small bug or something I am missing?

Consider comment (1) below:

/*
 * task_nice - return the nice value of a given task.
 * @p: the task in question.
 */

describe face reveals it as 

font-lock-comment-face

All is highlighted as I would expect based on my customised faces.

However, comment block (2) below (note the second asterisk on line 1):

/**
 * task_nice - return the nice value of a given task.
 * @p: the task in question.
 */

Here the face is

font-lock-doc-face

Is this correct? Is /** supposed to be something special?

c-version is 5.31.3
