Subject: [PATCH] Obsolete config in kernel source (USB_HCD_DMA)

Hi all!

As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

Similar to the config Option USB_HCD_STAT there's another
Zombi called USB_HCD_DMA only present in
./drivers/usb/host/isp1362-hcd.c The attached patch would just drop
the unreachable parts if you agree that's the correct solution.

Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

Christoph Egger

The patch's subject should be a terse description of change, not the
substitute for the lengthy description as in your case.

Also please insert patches inline in the email body instead of using
attachments. mutt can surely do this -- people do it all the time
(though I don't use mutt, so please don't ask me how).

Subject: [PATCH] remove code block depending on unreferenced config item USB_HCD_DMA

The configuration Option USB_HCD_DMA is not reachable in KConfig so
this piece of Code is effectively dead and useless. Remove it to avoid
confusion.
