Subject: [NET]: Proper comment for loopback initialization order.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=070ac3a2651e3c1c4d277c5f1981517427c386a7;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[NET]: Proper comment for loopback initialization order.

Loopback device is special. It should be initialized at the very
beginning.  Initialization order has been changed by
Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> and this change is non-obvious
and important enough to add proper comment.
