[PATCH 13/14] PCI/P2PDMA: Update documentation for pci_p2pdma_distance_many()

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

 



The comment describing pci_p2pdma_distance_many() still referred to
the devices being behind the same root port. This no longer applies
so reword the documentation.
