Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: diag288_wdt: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 15:43:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126144312.2219492-1-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel message
catalog" from 2008 [1] which never made it upstream.
The macro was added to s390 code to allow for an out-of-tree patch which
used this to generate unique message ids. Also this out-of-tree doesn't
exist anymore.
Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection.
