This is a resend of my first kernel patch, now CC'd to the staging maintainer.

The patch removes an unused variable in rtl8723bs to silence a compiler warning.
No functional changes.

Feedback welcome.

What tree are you working off?  It looks like you're accidentally
working off an example tree with deliberate nonsense code.  You're
just supposed to fix the bugs privately as practice about how to do
a git commit, not send the fix upstream.

In time you will look back at this with amusement.  It certainly gave
me a good chuckle.
