[PATCH] staging: greybus: gpio: add comment to mutex definition
From: Rahul Joshi
Date: Wed Mar 11 2026 - 13:54:35 EST
The irq_lock mutex is missing a comment describing what it protects,
which is required by kernel coding style. Add a comment clarifying
that it serializes IRQ bus lock/unlock operations used to defer and
sync pending IRQ type and mask changes to hardware.
