Subject: [PATCH v1 3/4] dmaengine: Add a comment on why it's okay when kasprintf() fails
Date: Mon,  7 Oct 2024 18:06:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241007150852.2183722-4-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241007150852.2183722-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

In dma_request_chan() one of the kasprintf() call is not checked
against NULL. This is completely fine right now, but make others
aware of this aspect by adding a comment.
