[PATCH] serial: sc16is7xx: change confusing comment about Tx FIFO

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

 



From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The comment wording can be confusing, as txlen will return the number of
bytes available in the FIFO, which can be less than the maximum theoretical
Tx FIFO size.

Change the comment so that it is unambiguous.
