Subject: [PATCH v2 04/12] MIPS: pm-cps: Update comments on barrier instructions
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2016 10:45:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473241520-14917-5-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1473241520-14917-1-git-send-email-matt.redfearn@imgtec.com>

This code makes large use of barriers, which had quite vague
descriptions. Update the comments to make the choice of barrier and
reason for it more clear.
