- use-mutex-instead-of-semaphore-in-rocketport-driver.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The patch titled
     use mutex instead of semaphore in RocketPort driver
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     use-mutex-instead-of-semaphore-in-rocketport-driver.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: use mutex instead of semaphore in RocketPort driver
From: Matthias Kaehlcke <matthias.kaehlcke@xxxxxxxxx>

The RocketPort driver uses a semaphore as mutex.  Use the mutex API instead of
the (binary) semaphore.
