No commit message.

https://staticthinking.wordpress.com/2022/07/27/how-to-send-a-v2-patch/

Why is do you change -2 to both -EBUSY and -ENOBUFS?  In the original
code, the -1 and -2 return meant something custom and they weren't
kernel error codes:

 * Return:
 *0     Success
 *-1    Hardware resource(TX FIFO) not ready
 *-2    Software resource(xmitbuf) not ready

Now the documentation makes no sense.

dan carpenter
