- use-mutex-instead-of-semaphore-in-the-host-ap-driver.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Use mutex instead of semaphore in the Host AP driver
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     use-mutex-instead-of-semaphore-in-the-host-ap-driver.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Use mutex instead of semaphore in the Host AP driver
From: Matthias Kaehlcke <matthias.kaehlcke@gmail.com>

The Host AP driver uses a semaphore as mutex. Use the mutex API
instead of the (binary) semaphore.
