Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] dmaengine: Add a comment on why it's okay when kasprintf() fails
Date: Tue,  8 Oct 2024 20:27:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241008173351.2246796-4-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241008173351.2246796-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

Add a comment in dma_request_chan() to clarify kasprintf() missing return
value check and it is correct functionality.
