+// This file describes the second of three pattern matcher setups that
+// forms the `xilinx_dsp` pass described in xilinx_dsp.cc
+// At a high level, it works as follows:
+// (1) Starting from a DSP48E1 cell that (a) doesn't have a CREG already,
+// and (b) uses the 'C' port
+// (2) Match the driver of the 'C' input to a possible $dff cell (CREG)
+// (attached to at most two $mux cells that implement clock-enable or
+// reset functionality, using a subpattern discussed below)
+// Notes:
+// - Separating out CREG packing is necessary since there is no guarantee
+// that the cell ordering corresponds to the "expected" case (i.e. the order
+// in which they appear in the source) thus the possiblity existed that a
+// register got packed as a CREG into a downstream DSP that should have
+// otherwise been a PREG of an upstream DSP that had not been visited yet
+// - The reason this is separated out from the xilinx_dsp.pmg file is
+// for efficiency --- each *.pmg file creates a class of the same basename,
+// which when constructed, creates a custom database tailored to the
+// pattern(s) contained within. Since the pattern in this file must be
+// executed after the pattern contained in xilinx_dsp.pmg, it is necessary
+// to reconstruct this database. Separating the two patterns into
+// independent files causes two smaller, more specific, databases.
