From 57c3d238a5ff7e7ad7aba098b5d55d8d89c2a6a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gabriel L. Somlo" Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 17:02:53 +0200 Subject: fw_cfg: document fw_cfg_modify_iXX() update functions Document the behavior of fw_cfg_modify_iXX() for leak-less updating of integer-type blobs. Currently only fw_cfg_modify_i16() is coded, but 32- and 64-bit versions may be added later if necessary..
