[PATCH] staging: nvec: paz00: remove unneeded call to platform_set_drvdata()
Posted by Andrei Coardos 2 years, 1 month ago
This function call was found to be unnecessary as there is no equivalent
platform_get_drvdata() call to access the private data of the driver. Also,
the private data is defined in this driver, so there is no risk of it being
accessed outside of this driver file.

Seems fine, and if Marc has tested it, that's good enough for me:

I think you are right, but why are we doing this?  That one line is
hardly a huge eyesore.  It's all risk and no reward.

Have you tested this change on real hardware?
