From: Ulf Magnusson Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2017 17:50:55 +0000 (+0200) Subject: kconfig: Document important expression functions X-Git-Url: https://jxself.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c9ae0d06ab99e64ccbd1f2f6548818e6e860e384;p=carl9170fw.git kconfig: Document important expression functions Many of these functions are quite the head scratchers if you don't know what they're trying to do. Document them. Also make it clear which functions rewrite expressions in-place and which return new expressions. This prevents memory errors. No functional changes. Only comments added.
