From 204c881e96e435606451e8a167cdb5a12fafd32a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 15:13:05 +0530 Subject: dt-bindings: arm: Explain capacities-dmips-mhz calculations in example The example contains two values for the capacity currently, 446 in text and 578 in code. The numbers are all correct but can confuse some of the readers. This patch tries to explain how the numbers are calculated to avoid same confusion going forward.
