Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] lib/string_helpers: Change returned value of the strreplace()
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:37:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230323123704.37983-3-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230323123704.37983-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

It's more useful to return the pointer to the string itself
with strreplace(), so it may be used like

	attr->name = strreplace(name, '/', '_');

While at it, amend the kernel documentation.
