  * blk_stack_limits - adjust queue_limits for stacked devices
- * @t:	the stacking driver limits (top)
- * @b:  the underlying queue limits (bottom)
+ * @t:	the stacking driver limits (top device)
+ * @b:  the underlying queue limits (bottom, component device)
  * @offset:  offset to beginning of data within component device
  *
  * Description:
- *    Merges two queue_limit structs.  Returns 0 if alignment didn't
- *    change.  Returns -1 if adding the bottom device caused
- *    misalignment.
+ *    This function is used by stacking drivers like MD and DM to ensure
+ *    that all component devices have compatible block sizes and
+ *    alignments.  The stacking driver must provide a queue_limits
+ *    struct (top) and then iteratively call the stacking function for
+ *    all component (bottom) devices.  The stacking function will
+ *    attempt to combine the values and ensure proper alignment.
+ *
+ *    Returns 0 if the top and bottom queue_limits are compatible.  The
+ *    top device's block sizes and alignment offsets may be adjusted to
+ *    ensure alignment with the bottom device. If no compatible sizes
+ *    and alignments exist, -1 is returned and the resulting top
+ *    queue_limits will have the misaligned flag set to indicate that
+ *    the alignment_offset is undefined.
