Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] ACPI: dock: remove global 'dock_device_name'
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:15:09 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091016211509.12126.7985.stgit@bob.kio> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091016211323.12126.58457.stgit@bob.kio>

We only use it in one spot, so it probably gets optimized out, but there's
still no need to use a global variable for this.
