[PATCH] staging: most: video: add comments to mutex and spinlock definitions
From: Muhammad Israr
Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 08:55:11 EST
Add comments describing what the list_lock spinlock and lock mutex
in struct most_video_dev protect, per checkpatch.pl's
"definition without comment" check.
list_lock protects the pending_mbos list. The mutex is registered
as vdev->lock and is used by the V4L2 core to serialize
video_device ioctl calls; it is not locked directly in this file.
