Subject: [patch V2 04/17] posix-timers: Remove a few paranoid warnings
Date: Sun,  2 Mar 2025 20:36:49 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250302193627.167378648@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250302185753.311903554@linutronix.de>

Warnings about a non-initialized timer or non-existing callbacks are just
useful for implementing new posix clocks, but there a NULL pointer
dereference is expected anyway. :)
