Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/5] net: stmmac: rename "mode" to "descriptor_mode"
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 18:26:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1w2vbF-0000000DbWQ-4674@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <abruRQpjLyMkoUEP@shell.armlinux.org.uk>

priv->mode doesn't describe what it refers to, it is whether we operate
the DMA descriptors as a ring or chain. It is also difficult to grep for
as there are several "mode" struct members. Add "descriptor_" prefix.
