Hi Cezary,

Thank you for the review.

Recursion and loops are means for doing something repeatedly. Could you
specify _why_ such change was made i.e. the conversion from one method
into the other? I bet the code is not being changed for the sake of
changing it, the reason is simply missing in the commit message.

I had feedback from Pavel "recursion is unwelcome in kernel due to
limited stack use." which I did agree with as a result I have come up
with this patch. Also to add this driver will later be used on Renesas
RZ/A2 SoC's which runs with limited memory.

Adding that reasoning to the commits message will prevent questions (such as mine) in the future. Thank you for a quick reply and a transparent answer.

Czarek
