[PATCH 2/2] ACPI / OSL: add comment for the __ref annotation of acpi_os_unmap_iomem()

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

 



Add a comment clarifying the need for the __ref annotation of
acpi_os_unmap_iomem(). It's safe, however, as acpi_early_init() will set
acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap to 1, disabling the problematic branch.
