With hardware, you can't just remove all 'read' calls and expect things
to work because a static code checker things something is not right.

I'm going to drop _all_ of the patches you sent me in the past few days
as I really think they all are wrong.  Please be more careful and work
on fixing real problems, not just ones that random tools think might be
wrong.  Weeding out false-positives should not be my job, that's not
scalable at all.

sorry,

greg k-h
