[PATCH 05/13] powerpc: Use list_add_(before|after) macros

From: Ken Helias <hidden>
Date: 2014-06-06 17:37:47
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: Ken Helias <redacted>

Many places in the code uses list_add_tail/list_add to insert an entry
before/after another entry. This confuses the reader because these are usually
used to add an item to a list_head and not an entry. Better use the self
explaining function name.
