[PATCH v1 1/3] staging: rtl8723bs: remove dead RX info reset logic
Posted by Ethan Tidmore 1 week, 4 days ago
The function rtw_reset_rx_info() and its associated counters in
struct debug_priv are used to track AMPDU and management frame
statistics that are never read by the driver.

Remove the unused function, the write-only struct members, and the
now-unused pdbgpriv/psdpriv pointers in rtw_free_assoc_resources()
to clean up the MLME code.

If they're never used, why can we not remove them from the struct
definition as well?

This blank line should be deleted as well.
