I couldn't come with the good comment for it so I just went for
the minimal one in patch #25 (which removed all quoted above inlines):

+static const struct rt2800_ops rt2800pci_rt2800_ops = {
+       .register_read          = rt2x00pci_register_read,
+       .register_write         = rt2x00pci_register_write,
+       .register_write_lock    = rt2x00pci_register_write, /* same for PCI */
+
+       .register_multiread     = rt2x00pci_register_multiread,
+       .register_multiwrite    = rt2x00pci_register_multiwrite,
+
+       .regbusy_read           = rt2x00pci_regbusy_read,
+};

but it certainly can be expanded if somebody has a better idea how
the comment should look like.
