Subject: [RESEND PATCH] of: Documentation: Correct return value from of_overlay_fdt_apply
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 16:02:29 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191024030230.8275-1-chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz> (raw)

The return from of_overlay_fdt_apply() just indicates success or fail.
The cookie is returned via reference.
