The kernel really doesn't have a problem related to excessive amounts
of useful code comments :(

The bottom line is: did I provide a reader with the ability to
understand why the code is this way?  If "no" then improvements beckon.

This does look like one code site where an elaborate explanation is
warranted.  There's no way in which a reader can get to your above
paragraph from the current rtc-omap.c.
