[PATCH] KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Reword the comment on a collection-less ITE
From: Fuad Tabba
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 05:27:19 EST
The comment above the NULL collection check in vgic_its_save_ite()
names only MAPC with V=0, which is UNPREDICTABLE. The route that
requires the check is clearing GITS_BASER<coll>.Valid on a disabled
ITS, a legitimate operation that orphans every ITE at once. Name both
routes.
No functional change intended.

Notes:
Based on kvmarm/next, since the comment this reworks was added by
c6c156d931c3 ("KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Don't dereference a NULL collection
on ITT save") and is not in a release yet.
