From 94a63da0ac1a67bfb8b30aec1086523c5031ea5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Walleij Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 12:10:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] irqdomain: document the simple domain first_irq The first_irq needs to be zero to get a linear domain and that comes with special semantics. We want to simplify this going forward but some documentation never hurts.
