From 698cd2ddd851b34e7200b4f846ae68306e11bae4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Brown Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 18:15:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] devres: Clarify documentation for devres_destroy() It's not massively obvious (at least to me) that removing and freeing a resource does not involve calling the release function for the resource but rather only removes the management of it. Make the documentation more explicit.
