Sure. We didn't add comments to these functions because they are
installed to 'struct frame_unwind' to compose a unwinder for a specific
type of frames. The situation is similar to gdbarch hook functions, so
I add comment in the similar way, for example,
+/* Implementation of function hook 'this_id' in
+ 'struct frame_uwnind'. */
+
+static void
+arm_m_exception_this_id (struct frame_info *this_frame,
besides them, I also add some comments on the code, point readers to
the right section of the right manual, which is more useful, IMO.
Below is the updated patch.

* arm-tdep.c (arm_addr_bits_remove): Do not adjust the low
bit of EXC_RETURN.
(arm_m_exception_cache, arm_m_exception_this_id)
(arm_m_exception_prev_register, arm_m_exception_unwind_sniffer)
(arm_m_exception_unwind): New.
(arm_gdbarch_init): Register arm_m_exception_unwind.
