[PATCH] mac80211: correct ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces_mtx() locking comments

From: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org>
Date: 2021-05-05 20:29:06
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

Commit a05829a7222e ("cfg80211: avoid holding the RTNL when calling the
driver") dropped usage of RTNL here and replaced it with
hw->wiphy->mutex. But we didn't update the comments.
