That depends: have you verified that we do need it?
I wouldn't feel comfortable with removing either line without someone
first explaining why it isn't necessary and testing the result on a
number of different systems, with varying combinations of csrc-r4k &
cevt-r4k.
I absolutely agree that removing unnecessary code or outdated comments
are both good things, but let's be sure they're unnecessary or outdated
first. Your patch does not make me confident that you've checked either
of those.
Thanks,
Paul
