Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 19:32:15 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Paul Cercueil <paul@...pouillou.net>, Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@...tlin.com> Subject: [PATCH 5.15 018/846] mtd: rawnand: davinci: Rewrite function description From: Paul Cercueil <paul@...pouillou.net> commit 0697f8441faad552fbeb02d74454b5e7bcc956a2 upstream. The original comment that describes the function nand_davinci_read_page_hwecc_oob_first() is very obscure and it is hard to understand what it is for.
