[PATCH v2 4/4] i2c: slave-eeprom: add more info when to increase the pointer

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

 



From: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It is a bit subtle when to correctly increase the buffer index when
reading. Make this clearer by adding some more comments and pointers to
the docs.
