From d124fd3bb36ceb40438f10c897ce642386b74b72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2016 11:08:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] serial: doc: Re-add paragraph documenting uart_console_write() Commit 834392a7d92677ff ("serial: doc: Un-document non-existing uart_write_console()") removed a paragraph about a helper function that seemed to never exist. Peter Hurley pointed out that the function does exist, but is called differently. Re-add the paragraph, with the function name corrected.
