This is the prototype of a function.  Is there a definition somewhere?  If
so, it would be good to remove the definition at the same time.

There is no function definition in the code base. Do you I need to edit the commit log and resend it.

?

Also, I found the other function, for which I have to remove function prototype and function definition. So, am i need to submit it as patch series or can i commit in one single patch?

thanks,

Same file -> series
Different files -> separate patches are fine.

This should probably say something like:
	Remove an unused function prototype as there is no such function
	in the kernel tree.

That's a better description of what this patch is doing, don't you
agree?
