Subject: [PATCH] w35und: Add locking problems to TODO list
Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2010 13:04:21 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1284890661-14221-1-git-send-email-penberg@kernel.org> (raw)

The w35und uses atomics such as "ThreadCount" and "FireCount" to emulate
locking in the TX paths, for example. Document this bug in the TODO list.
