[PATCH 1/2] platform/x86/amd: hfi: Remove unused cpumask from cpuinfo struct
Posted by Kuan-Wei Chiu 2 months, 1 week ago
The cpus field within the struct amd_hfi_cpuinfo was allocated and set
in the amd_hfi_online() CPU hotplug callback, and subsequently freed in
the amd_hfi_offline() callback.

However, after being initialized, this cpumask was never read or used
for any purpose within the driver. It represents dead code that serves
no functional role.

This change has no impact on the driver's functionality as the removed
code was entirely superfluous.

Thanks, this LGTM.  There is other code that was going to use these, but 
it's not upstream ready still.  If we end up using them we can bring 'em 
back later.
