If someone is not familiar with the terms you are using this
paragraph is completely meaningless. Can you please describe or
at least expandi in parenthesis:

  hs_hcnt
  hs_lcnt
  tHIGH/tLOW (this is easy, but redundancy in commit log is never
              enough)
  IC_CAP_LOADING
  IC_CLK_FREQ_OPTIMIZATION

The sentence above is not really meaningful and it's not
describing what "clk_freq_optimized" is.

This looks fine to me.

Thanks,
