Perhaps inherit the copyright statements from the includes that you
extracted these from?

Perhaps drop the "here" at the end of that sentence. Also maybe wrap the
last line because it stands out as much longer than the above.

I /think/ it would be more correct to say: "Use @enable and @disable
exclusively instead."

s/crtc/CRTC/, there's a couple more places where the casing is
inconsistent, I'll refrain from pointing them out explicitly since your
editor will be much better at finding them.

Same comment as for the CRTC helper functions.
