  * Simultaneously, remap existing UBO accesses by increasing their binding

- * Both the base and the offset are interpreted as 16-byte units.
+ * Note that nir_intrinsic_load_uniform base/ranges can be set in different

  * For example:
- * - st_glsl_to_nir uses dwords (4 bytes) so the multiplier should be 4
- * - tgsi_to_nir uses bytes, so the multiplier should be 16
+ * - st_glsl_to_nir for PIPE_CAP_PACKED_UNIFORMS uses dwords (4 bytes) so the
