Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] modpost.c: Stop checking __dev* section mismatches
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:45:02 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121129184502.GC15110@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121129184328.GB15110@kroah.com>

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Now that the __dev* sections are not being generated, we don't need to
check for them in modpost.c.
