[PATCH v1 3/4] dmaengine: Add a comment on why it's okay when kasprintf() fails
From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 11:10:10 EST
In dma_request_chan() one of the kasprintf() call is not checked
against NULL. This is completely fine right now, but make others
aware of this aspect by adding a comment.
