I thought you were referring to the code blocks above the comment. In that case, as described earlier, the code below the comment is tightly coupled with the code above the comment since the pair of transactions are how we "/* Cal reset */". The idea of introducing a subroutine/helper function for these paired (addr/data) transactions might help readability so I will consider it for a future patch.
