The latest dead-code removal was slightly incomplete and
left a few things behind that we now get compiler warnings
for:

drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c: In function 'read_bulk_callback':
drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c:475:1: error: label 'goon' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c:446:8: error: unused variable 'pkt_len' [-Werror=unused-variable]
drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c:445:6: error: unused variable 'buf' [-Werror=unused-variable]
drivers/net/usb/pegasus.c:443:17: error: unused variable 'count' [-Werror=unused-variable]

This removes them as well.

Guys, come on.  This code is not dead.  This code is executed every time an 
ethernet packet is received.  It takes care of various error statistics. More 
importantly, it sends the actual (reported by the adapter) packet length to the 
network layer along with the packet.

This patch removes skb_put() and netif_rx() calls and effectively kills the RX 
path.  Not to mention that the driver was not even compiled before sending the 
patch upstream.

The only sensible, although cosmetic, change would be to replace:

	if (!count || count < 4)

with

	if (count < 4)

even though GCC takes care and it optimizes away "!count" condition.

Please revert this patch before Linus pulls from the network tree.


		Petko

Agreed. I failed to check the commit that introduced the warning for
the more serious problem.

Please revert e00be9e4d0ff, it just makes no sense.
