[PATCH] cpufreq: powernow: Remove redundant 'ret' variable in powernow_decode_bios()
Posted by Qianfeng Rong 1 month ago
Remove the unnecessary 'ret' variable from the powernow_decode_bios()
function. It is only used once to store the return value of get_ranges(p)
before immediately returning it. Simplify the code by directly returning
the result of get_ranges(p) instead.

This should have been marked as V4 with details of what changed.
Sending it separately is fine (though wasn't really required), but you
still need to maintain the versions.

Thank you for your reminder and for letting me learn about this rule.

I see you have already added the Acked tag to this patch-do I still
need to send a V4 version with a detailed description of changes in
each version?

Best regards,
