For driver-private data and functions we should rely on expressive variable and function names and only use comments for something that might be unclear or requires additional qualification. Thanks.

About introducing warnings when someone changes code, I believe that this may also be helpful (for a developer) in some *corner* cases, but I agree that this is unnecessarily tedious in some others... in the end, it's all about personal opinions... Of course, some of the documentation being obvious is unavoidable when it comes to kerneldoc as you either document 'em all, or nothing. In any case, if you really dislike having this kind of documentation, I can drop these commits and eventually add in-line comments to some variables to make them perfectly understandable, or I can avoid documenting at all (even though I am strongly for documenting things clearly).
