(also below) I'm not sure to understand the sense of the question. My patch does remove a use of pname, but there is another one on the line above, in the call to platform_get_resource_byname. Perhaps the definition of pname could be inlined at this use, but it is a common pattern throughout the function. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
