[PATCH v3 23/28] staging: iio: tsl2583: clarified comment about clearing interrupts

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

 



The comment that describes the code that clears the interrupt bit was
vague and didn't provide much value. This patch adds more detail about
why that bit needs to be cleared.
