[PATCH] mac80211: Improve confusing comment around tx_info clearing

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

 



The comment above the ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status() helper was somewhat
confusing as to which fields it was or wasn't clearing. So replace it by
something that is hopefully more, well, clear.
