[PATCH 1/2] cpu/hotplug: Clarify description of __cpuhp_setup_state() return value

From: Boris Ostrovsky
Date: Thu Dec 15 2016 - 09:44:38 EST


When ivoked with CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN state __cpuhp_setup_state()
is expected to return positive value which is the hotplug state that
the routine assigns.
