Subject: [PATCH] regmap: clarify struct regmap::max_register value some more
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2024 08:34:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240111073412.1318725-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
We already have documentation for the member that was taken from Linux,
but still managed to use it wrongly at multiple places that were
recently fixed. To prevent such issues from reoccurring in the future,
expand the documentation a bit.
