Subject: [PATCH 2/4] PCI: explicitly document ISR status field
Feedback on ISR status register: It would be helpful if this section provided the meaning of each bit in the register. ISR use is scattered all around the place. Add a section describing the format and semantics. Cc: Arun Subbarao <asubbarao@lnxw.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
