[PATCH 1/3] kfifo: Fix the description of kfifo_alloc()
From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Thu Apr 17 2025 - 17:06:24 EST
The 'size' parameter of kfifo_alloc() does not need to be a power of 2. If
it is not, it will be rounded up to the next power of 2 automatically, as
already correctly explained a few lines below.
