Reviewed-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpen...@oracle.com> A better subject might have been "remove dead code" but that was explained pretty well in the patch desription. I hadn't looked at this driver much before. It sucks that parport_driver ->attach() functions can't fail... I think we don't need the "keypad_initialized" and "lcd.initialized" variables because "if (pprt)" is enough to tell us whether or not the attach function succeeded. TODO: Staging: panel: remove some redundent variables. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
