Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] bus: mhi: Improve documentation on channel transfer setup APIs
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 11:21:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1605122473-12179-7-git-send-email-bbhatt@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1605122473-12179-1-git-send-email-bbhatt@codeaurora.org>

The mhi_prepare_for_transfer() and mhi_unprepare_from_transfer()
APIs could use better explanation, especially with the addition
of two new APIs to start and stop the transfers on channels. Add
better set of information for those APIs to avoid confusion going
forward.
