That's merely a prose description of the code.  A reader can already
see from the code what it's doing.  You need to explain the *reason*
for the change instead.  E.g.:  "Make pci_dev_is_disconnected() public
so that it can be called from $DRIVER to speed up hot removal
handling which may otherwise take seconds because of $REASONS."

Thanks,

Lukas
