[PATCH i-g-t] lib/crc: Update doc for igt_pipe_crc_get_crcs

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

 



Noticed while discussing CRC tests with Ville that this was totally
wrong.

v2: Ville pointed out that it only does not block when opened using
igt_pipe_crc_new_nonblocking. Still different from
igt_pipe_crc_collect_crc, which will always block.

v3: Fix type (Ville).
