Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v4 3/4] dpll: documentation on DPLL subsystem interface
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2022 10:13:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <60c011eb99c1859d4ee7191d4cbc20d11548f327.camel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221129213724.10119-4-vfedorenko@novek.ru>
Hello,
I have a just a few minor notes WRT the documentation - which was a
very useful entry point for me to help understanding the subsystem.

Side note: in the long run we could end-up with a virtual/dummy dpll
driver for self-tests and/or reference's implementation sake.

should we include also the cookie (or wuhatever will be used for

It looks like the descrition for the above attribute ('PIN_IDX') and
'SOURCE_PIN_IDX' has been swapped.

Should we explicitly document even the required permissions?
