[PATCH v1] usb: phy: tegra: Add clarifying comments about the shared registers

From: Dmitry Osipenko
Date: Sun Feb 02 2020 - 17:44:56 EST


Tools like Coccinelle may erroneously recommend to use the
devm_platform_ioremap_resource() API for the registers mapping because
these tools are not aware about the implementation details of the driver.
Let's add a clarifying comments to the code, which should help to stop
future attempts to break the driver.
