Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: rtl871x_security.c: remove unnecessary variable initialization

Variable "u32 c" always re-initialize in for loop.
Initialized value of "u32 c" is not used in function
and is redundant, hence removed.

The patch is good, the value assigned to c is immediately overwritten.

Unfortunately the patch fails to apply in staging-testing and linux-next. Could
you please rebase?

Thanks,

It's based on earlier patches on the list.

Normally only Greg tests that patches apply and it will for him because
he applies them as the order they arrive. But we should probably start
putting notes on the patches which earlier patches are required...

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Then the patch is good, but it doesn't need a Reviewed-by line since it you
pre-approved it.
