[PATCH 07/20] dmaengine: at_hdmac: drop useless LIST_HEAD

[Julia Lawall]

Drop LIST_HEAD where the variable it declares is never used.

tmp_list has been declared since the introduction of the driver
and has never been used.  The two declarations of list were
introduced with the containing functions but were also not used.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
identifier x;
@@
- LIST_HEAD(x);
  ... when != x
// </smpl>

Fixes: dc78baa2b90b ("dmaengine: at_hdmac: new driver for the Atmel AHB DMA Controller")
Fixes: 4facfe7f09f2b ("dmaengine: hdmac: Split device_control")

Because the different files are in different subsystems.  The cover letter
goes to a list for each file, or to a person if there is no list.  The
patches go to the people and lists associated with the affected files.

I don't know who you were discussing this with...

You should CC the 0th patch to all the mailinglists.  That much is a
clear rule.

For the rest, Julia's position is the more conservative one.  I was in
a conversation in RL and they were like, "CC everyone for all the
patches".  It depends on the context, of course.  If the patches are
dependent on each other then you *have* to CC everyone for everything.

If we really have other clear rules, then it should be encoded into
get_maintainer.pl so that it's automatic.

My other question is why do the linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org
people feel like they need to be CC'd about every driver???  I always
remove them from the CC list unless it's an arch/arm issue.

regards,
dan carpenter

Agreed.  Ms. Lawall, sending "Cover letter + all relevant XFS patches"
(as you did) was exactly the right thing for us xfs types. :)

For that matter, we prefer to receive through linux-xfs more patches
than necessary (one can send the entire series if one is unsure) than to
go wanting for more context.

Thanks for the confirmation.  I was planning to ignore the 4-5 advice,
because there is no way in this case to make a meaningful 4-5 list
