Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] thermal: gov_step_wise: Clarify cooling logic description comment
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2025 15:28:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4690596.LvFx2qVVIh@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12745610.O9o76ZdvQC@rafael.j.wysocki>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The cooling logic description comment next to the get_target_state()
definition is slightly ambiguous in what it means by "lower cooling
state", so clarify that by replacing the ambuguous phrase with "the
minimum applicable cooling state".

No functional impact.
