Subject: [PATCH 3/4] powerpc/vio: clarify vio_find_node reference counting
Date: Tue,  1 Nov 2016 16:26:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478013963-28871-3-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1478013963-28871-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org>

Add comment clarifying that vio_find_node() takes a reference to the
embedded struct device which needs to be dropped after use.
