From 637ba54f6051903e1f0011b75ee36b2a29696c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludovic Desroches Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 12:05:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tty/serial: atmel: add comment for the ring buffer size macro There is a macro named ATMEL_SERIAL_RINGSIZE which suggesting that it corresponds to the real size of the ring buffer. Let warn people that there is a factor of four since allocation size is sizeof(struct atmel_uart_char) * ATMEL_SERIAL_RINGSIZE.
