The patch titled sysctl: remove sys_sysctl support from drivers/char/rtc.c has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sysctl-remove-sys_sysctl-support-from-drivers-char-rtcc.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sysctl: remove sys_sysctl support from drivers/char/rtc.c From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The real time clock driver was using the binary number reserved for cdroms in the sysctl binary number interface, which is a no-no. So since the sysctl binary interface is wrong remove it. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
