[PATCH 2/2] serial: core: add comment about definitely used port types

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

 



When port type 18 was removed, it was deduced that the code could go but
its define has to stay because it is used in userspace. Share that
knowledge by adding a comment about it.
