The patch titled
Use mutex instead of semaphore in the Host AP driver
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
use-mutex-instead-of-semaphore-in-the-host-ap-driver.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Use mutex instead of semaphore in the Host AP driver
From: Matthias Kaehlcke <matthias.kaehlcke@xxxxxxxxx>
The Host AP driver uses a semaphore as mutex. Use the mutex API
instead of the (binary) semaphore.
