[PATCH v1] net: Remove orphaned ax25_ptr references
Posted by Costa Shulyupin 1 week ago
The AX.25 subsystem was removed in commit dd8d4bc28ad7
("net: remove ax25 and amateur radio (hamradio) subsystem"),
which removed the ax25_ptr field from struct net_device but
left behind the kdoc comment and documentation.
