Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused diagnostic
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:47:35 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127224747.40305-1-ethantidmore06@gmail.com> (raw)
This series performs a driver-wide audit and cleanup of dead diagnostic
code within the rtl8723bs staging driver.
The vendor-originated code included a variety of diagnostic counters
housed within 'struct debug_priv'. These counters were updated
throughout the driver's hot paths—including MLME, receive, power
control, and SDIO allocation—but were never read, exposed via
debugfs, or utilized for any internal logic.
Patch 1: Removes unused RX info reset logic and associated counters.
Patch 2: Removes dead RX sequence gap calculation logic.
Patch 3: Performs a final scrub of 'struct debug_priv' and all
remaining write-only counters throughout the driver.
