Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: exfat: remove DOSNAMEs.

remove 'dos_name','ShortName' and related definitions.

'dos_name' and 'ShortName' are definitions before VFAT.
These are never used in exFAT.

Why are we still seeing patches for the exfat in staging? Why are people
not working on the Samsung code base?

Because people like doing cleanup patches :)

They are, see the patches on the list, hopefully they get merged after
-rc1 is out.

Sure, but I think people also like to believe that their cleanup patches
are making a difference. In this case, they're just churning code that's
only weeks away from deletion.

I meant the cleanup people. Obviously _some_ people are working on the
Samsung codebase.
