Subject: [net-next v0 05/14] devlink: Clarifies max_macs generic devlink param
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2021 19:15:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211222031604.14540-6-saeed@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211222031604.14540-1-saeed@kernel.org>

From: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com>

The generic param max_macs documentation isn't clear.
Replace it with a more descriptive documentation
