The patch titled Remove unnecessary check in drivers/net/depca.c has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is remove-unnecessary-check-in-drivers-net-depcac.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Remove unnecessary check in drivers/net/depca.c From: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@xxxxxx> This was spotted by coverity (cid #793). All callers dereference dev before calling this functions, and we dereference it earlier in the function, when initializing lp.
