This patch fixes the following sparse error:
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32:    expected restricted __be32 [usertype] serial_number
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers//ni_pcimio.c:1229:32:    got unsigned int

This is done by removing the whole code block, since the variable
'serial_number' is only assigned but never used.

There's no such tag, sorry :(

And does this obsolete all of your other ones?  Please make it obvious
what I am supposed to do here.

I've now dropped all of these patches from my queue.  please resend the
proper one.

thanks,

To add to that, I think the emphasis of the patch title and description should now be on the removal of serial_number, with fixing the sparse error as a useful side-effect/inspiration. The patch title should also mention ni_pcimio.

Thanks,
Ian.
