I would keep the mention, but change the comment:

	/*
	 * Update the later_rq clock before calling add_running_bw()
	 * because the clock is used by cpufreq_update_util() that is
	 * inside __add_running_bw(). As the later_rq clock is already
	 * updated, we need to set ENQUEUE_NOCLOCK to prevent
	 * activate_task() from updating it again.
	 */
Other than that...
