This patch (as960) removes the error message and stack dump logged by sysfs_remove_bin_file() when someone tries to remove a nonexistent file. The warning doesn't seem to be needed, since none of the other file-, symlink-, or directory-removal routines in sysfs complain in a comparable way.
Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- This is 2.6.23 material. The spurious error message can be triggered by USB code added since 2.6.22, so it needs to be removed before the final release.
