Mark,
A concrete question is below of my previous comment.

My response to your comment was that those in-code comments have been absolutely
redundant. So I just removed them, since I was touching that part of the driver
anyway. If you are agree with me having that done here, then please, accept the
patch the way it is. If you disagree, or have any other though, please give me
your answer, why.
