[PATCH net-next] hippi: Remove unused hippi_neigh_setup_dev

[PATCH net-next] hippi: Remove unused hippi_neigh_setup_dev

[linux]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@treblig.org>

hippi_neigh_setup_dev() has been unused since
commit e3804cbebb67 ("net: remove COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS")

Remove it.

(I'm a little suspicious it's the only setup call removed
by that previous commit?)

Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

I suggest submitting a patch to MAINTAINERS to drop the that ML from there.
In general, patches for MAINTAINERS can be targeted at net.

Hi David,

There is a dangling comment referring to hippi_neigh_setup_dev
in hippi_setup().

	/*
	 * HIPPI doesn't support broadcast+multicast and we only use
	 * static ARP tables. ARP is disabled by hippi_neigh_setup_dev.
	 */

Could you fix that up too?

I saw that, and it raised the suspicion that I mentioned in the
commit message; is that code relying on the uncalled, removed
function to disable ARPs?
