Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] ata: libata-core: Fix the ata_host_register() kdoc
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:19:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910121900.97676-8-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260910121900.97676-5-cassel@kernel.org>
ata_host_register() does not start the ports of the host, it requires
them to have been started already:
/* host must have been started */
if (!(host->flags & ATA_HOST_STARTED)) {
dev_err(host->dev, "BUG: trying to register unstarted host\n");
WARN_ON(1);
return -EINVAL;
}
Fix the kdoc accordingly, and fix the grammar of the last sentence while
at it.
