Yes, I didn't word that exactly right. I still think the patch that adds this is
now useless if it's just going to be replaced. Do you think I should keep the
patch that this comment originates from, even though we already know exactly how
its substantial contents will be replaced?

We can't modify history and drop commits on kernel trees, but I can still send
a v6 series that drops the original comment.
