The patch titled Subject: fs/char_dev.c: remove pointless assignment from __register_chrdev_region() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was char_dev-remove-pointless-assignment-from-__register_chrdev_region.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Subject: fs/char_dev.c: remove pointless assignment from __register_chrdev_region() At one place we assign major number we found to ret. That assignment is then never used and actually doesn't make any sense given how the code is currently structured (the assignment comes from pre-git times). Just remove it. Coverity id: 1226852.
