Hi,

my first kernel patch, yay. :-)

On the file drivers/ata/ahci.c in line 1433 is declared a variable that
is never used in the function. I removed it.

Patch is in attachments (based on 2.6.23.10).

You'll need to do:

(1) repost it, but this time to linux-ide@vger.kernel.org,
(2) place the patch INLINE, where it's easier to comment/correct as needed,
(3) include a Signed-off-by line,
(4) read / follow much of the Documentation/SubmittingPatches file.

*Then* you can try for fame and glory!
