[PATCH 1/2] software node: Add comment for the first ERR_CAST() in fwnode_create_software_node()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

ERR_CAST() is normally used to cast an error-valued pointer type to
another different type, But the first ERR_CAST() is to cast away the
const in fwnode_create_software_node().

Add comment for this unusual ERR_CAST() usage.
