Concur with Imre here, comments shouldn't ever explain what the code does,
but why. If you need to explain what the code does in comments, then it
needs to be refactored (helper function with clear name extracted, better
naming of variables/defines, ...).

Imo almost all the comments in this code should be remove because they're
obvious.
