Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] dmaengine: Document dmaengine_prep_dma_memset
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 11:39:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220128183948.3924558-2-benjamin.walker@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220128183948.3924558-1-benjamin.walker@intel.com>
Document this function to make clear the expected behavior of the
'value' parameter. It was intended to match the behavior of POSIX memset
as laid out here:
