+ * Howto porting drivers to the new generic fifo API:
+ *
+ * - Modify the declaration of the "struct kfifo *" object into a
+ * in-place "struct kfifo" object
+ * - Init the in-place object with kfifo_alloc() or kfifo_init()
+ * Note: The address of the in-place "struct kfifo" object must be
+ * passed as the first argument to this functions
+ * - Replace the use of __kfifo_put into kfifo_in and __kfifo_get
+ * into kfifo_out
+ * - Replace the use of kfifo_put into kfifo_in_locked and kfifo_get
+ * into kfifo_out_locked
+ * Note: the spinlock pointer formerly passed to kfifo_init/kfifo_alloc
+ * must be passed now to the kfifo_in_locked and kfifo_out_locked
+ * as the last parameter.
+ * - All formerly name __kfifo_* functions has been renamed into kfifo_*
