This comment just explains what swap does (rather than why it's being used). Perhaps mention e.g. "move the tens digit to the low nibble"
Also, now that I think about it, 'divide by 16' might be a bit confusing in the context -- it's a divide by ten in BCD.

I think this saves bytes, cycles and doesn't mess with the carry flag.
