[PATCH v7 03/21] timer: Add comment to get_next_timer_interrupt() description
Posted by Anna-Maria Behnsen 2 years, 8 months ago
get_next_timer_interrupt() does more than simply getting the next timer
interrupt. The timer bases are forwarded and also marked as idle whenever
possible.

To get not confused, add a comment to function description.

v5: New patch, which adds only a comment to get_next_timer_interrupt()
instead of changing the function name
