Comments should start with /* on a line of its own, and you can also
reflow the text to 80 columns:

	/*
	 * In Gen3, PnALPHAR register need to be set to 0 to avoid black screen
	 * issue when alpha blend is enable on DU module.
	 */

It would however be nicer to document the exact behaviour, but the
latest version of the documentation I have access to is rev 2.3 and it
lists PnALPHAR as not available on Gen3.

Furthermore, is this really the right fix, shouldn't we instead avoid
enabling alpha-blending in PnMR on Gen3 ?
