As I hope you can see I have made some changes regarding the
subject-line. Thought it was an advantage to be able to see which file
I actually removed something from. There seems to be a big focus on
getting right on subject-line right in recent weeks.

I wonder why there is a script that takes a file name, and respond
with an appropriate subject line?

Is there a script for this? Anyway, I would say driver name is enough. Enough about the subject line ;-) I would like to give some general remarks as you seem to touch a lot of kernel code. First off, I think it is good to remove unused stuff. However, I would like some more explanation on your methodology apart from "partially found by using a static code analysis program". So a cover-letter explaining that would have been nice (maybe still is). Things like Kconfig option can affect whether function are used or not so how did you cover that.

I don't think you can really automate this as some drivers do this a bit
differently. You always need to manually check the commit log.

But ok, I change my script accordingly. Should I submit the patch again?

Yes, please resubmit.
