From 41d0bbc749471522714efd0649b7e033fefcbfb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Murphy Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 18:59:14 +0100 Subject: dma-coherent: clarify dma_mmap_from_dev_coherent documentation The use of "correctly mapped" here is misleading, since it can give the wrong expectation in the case that the memory *should* have been mapped from the per-device pool, but doing so failed for other reasons.
