I think the second line is redundant anyway. Anyone who can read C can
immediately see the code is checking the bit after setting it to 1. The
not so obvious part is that the read back happens in its_write_baser().
But the way the code is written implies that baser->val is somehow
updated in its_write_baser(), and if one looks at it, then it's clear.

In the original comment, "table by" appeared twice. I would just get
rid of the second line altogether and stop at "table".
