[PATCH 3/4] drm/dp/i2c: Update comments about common i2c over dp assumptions

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

 



If you are using the common dp over i2c functionality, it is
asumed that the aux transfer function does not modify the any
of the msg structure other than the reply field.  Doing so
breaks the logic in the common code.
