Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] staging: unisys: remove redundant variable
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 20:47:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427210250-30427-1-git-send-email-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> (raw)
remove the variable "registered", which was used in the cleanup() to
detect if the driver has successfully initialized. the cleanup()
is called from module_exit, so its obvious that the module has
successfully initialized. if the initialization had failed, then
we will never be in the cleanup().
