The patch titled Subject: drivers/rapidio/devices/tsi721_dma.c: delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in tsi721_alloc_chan_resources() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is rapidio-tsi721_dma-delete-an-unnecessary-variable-initialisation-in-tsi721_alloc_chan_resources.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/rapidio-tsi721_dma-delete-an-unnecessary-variable-initialisation-in-tsi721_alloc_chan_resources.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/rapidio-tsi721_dma-delete-an-unnecessary-variable-initialisation-in-tsi721_alloc_chan_resources.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: drivers/rapidio/devices/tsi721_dma.c: delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in tsi721_alloc_chan_resources() The local variable "desc" will eventually be set to an appropriate pointer a bit later. Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.
