Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 4/4] Documentation: Change doc for split_lock_detect parameter
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 20:28:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201028202804.3562179-5-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201028202804.3562179-1-fenghua.yu@intel.com>

Since #DB for bus lock detect changes the split_lock_detect parameter,
update the documentation for the changes.
