Subject: [PATCH 2/7] efi: Document #define FOO_PROTOCOL_GUID layout
Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2016 08:20:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1466839230-12781-3-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1466839230-12781-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>

From: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>

Add a comment documenting why EFI GUIDs are laid out like they are.
Ideally I'd like to change all the ", " to "," too, but right now the
format is such that checkpatch won't complain with new ones, and staring
at checkpatch didn't get me anywhere towards making that work.
