Mainly to silence the compiler. Also because the patch author argued successfully that they had found a theoretical bug, often in mature code. But is anyone keeping score of the regressions? If unreported bugs count, what about unreported regressions? > Cheers, > Miguel > _______________________________________________ Linux-mediatek mailing list Linux-mediatek@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mediatek
