From d77535162e736c47978d5c01469c56e1781dc91b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2010 09:12:41 +0000 Subject: net: Document that dev_get_stats() returns the given pointer Document that dev_get_stats() returns the same stats pointer it was given. Remove const qualification from the returned pointer since the caller may do what it likes with that structure. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
