Subject: [PATCH] staging:r8188eu: Remove rx_handler_data unnecessary read
Date: Wed,  9 May 2018 22:44:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180509194406.22617-1-insafonov@gmail.com> (raw)

Rx handler (assigned with netdev_rx_handler_register,
called from __netif_receive_skb()) uses value of dev->rx_handler_data.
The driver has no rx handler and does not need it, so remove rx_handler_data read.
