Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: doc: Always refer to tty_port->mutex
Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 13:56:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462967765-30871-2-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1462967765-30871-1-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be>
Stop referring to the mutex member of the tty_port struct as
'port->mutex', as 'port' is ambiguous, and usually refers to the
uart_port struct in this document. Use 'tty_port->mutex' instead,
following the single existing use.
