[PATCH v7 05/54] drm/bridge: Fix atomic state ops documentation

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

 



The drm_bridge_funcs atomic_state_duplicate and atomic_state_destroy
operations are erroneously documented as having a default implementation
if not implemented in bridge drivers. This isn't correct, fix the
documentation.
