[PULL v2 24/43] memory-device: document MemoryDeviceClass

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>

Document the functions. Don't document get_region_size(), as we will be
dropping/replacing that one soon.

Use same documentation style as in include/exec/memory.h, but don't
document the parameters, as they are self-explanatory.
