The patch titled
genericserial: remove bogus optimisation check and dead code paths
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
genericserial-remove-bogus-optimisation-check-and-dead-code-paths.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: genericserial: remove bogus optimisation check and dead code paths
From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We've been using the 'new locking' for a long time now so it seems
pointless keeping the old one around. Remove it and undo the macros it
uses back into real code for readability. Remove the bogus 'no termios
change' checks.
