The patch titled
Drop the superfluous test for an old version of gcc.
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
drop-the-superfluous-test-for-an-old-version-of-gcc.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Drop the superfluous test for an old version of gcc.
From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The header file <linux/compiler.h> already enforces a suitably recent
version of gcc, so there's no point checking for that again.
Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
