I see. The original comment does fail to mention that we don't resolve
the level/layer range being cleared.

I think we can fix this while keeping the comment simple. What do you
think about one of these:

   /* If we're clearing to a new clear value, then we need to resolve
    * any clear flags that are outside of the specified range and then
    * update the miptree's clear value.
    */

   /* If we're clearing to a new clear value, then we need to resolve
    * any clear flags that are outside of the level/layer range
    * specified for clearing and then update the miptree's clear value.
    */
