Subject: [PATCH] i2c: Remove unneeded xxx_set_drvdata(..., NULL) calls
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:17:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201302181317.28645.marex@denx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360970315-32116-1-git-send-email-dianders@chromium.org>

Dear Doug Anderson,

> There is simply no reason to be manually setting the private driver
> data to NULL in the remove/fail to probe cases.  This is just extra
> cruft code that can be removed.
> 
> A few notes:
> * Nothing relies on drvdata being set to NULL.
> * The __device_release_driver() function eventually calls
>   dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL) anyway, so there's no need to do it
>   twice.
> * I verified that there were no cases where xxx_get_drvdata() was
>   being called in these drivers and checking for / relying on the NULL
>   return value.
> 
> This could be cleaned up kernel-wide but for now just take the baby
> step and remove from the i2c subsystem.
