This is the function body:
/* Switchdev offloading can be configured on: */
if (dev == dp->slave)
/* DSA ports directly connected to a bridge. */
return true;
if (dp->lag && dev == dp->lag->dev)
/* DSA ports connected to a bridge via a LAG */
return true;
return false;
What more is there to explain? Is it the style? Do you prefer initial
block comments over explaining the individual statements? Is the lanuage
not up to standard?
I am sorry for the tone, I am aware of it. It is just that I really want
to contributem but I am starting to feel like a tty-over-email-proxy to
my emacs session - and an extremely unreliable one at that.
