Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] can: c_can: add a comment about IF_RX interface's use
Date:   Tue,  2 Mar 2021 22:54:32 +0100
Message-Id: <20210302215435.18286-4-dariobin@libero.it>
In-Reply-To: <20210302215435.18286-1-dariobin@libero.it>
References: <20210302215435.18286-1-dariobin@libero.it>
Precedence: bulk

After reading the commit 640916db2bf7 ("can: c_can: Make it SMP safe")
it may sound strange to see the IF_RX interface used by the
can_inval_tx_object function. A comment was added to avoid any
misunderstanding.

Changes in v4:
- Restore IF_RX interface.
- Add a comment to clarify why IF_RX interface is used instead of IF_TX.
