Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Documentation/sparse: drop __bitwise__
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 07:15:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481778865-27667-4-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1481778865-27667-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com>

We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation
detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere.
