[PATCH v6] staging: vt6655: Remove unused function

[PATCH v6] staging: vt6655: Remove unused function

[Dorine Tipo]

Remove unused function RFbAL7230SelectChannelPostProcess declared in
rf.h but has no associated implementation.

Commit dd2837bdea0e removed the RFbAL7230SelectChannelPostProcess() but
accidentally forgot to delete the declaration in the header file.

Fixes: dd2837bdea0e ("staging: vt6655: Remove unused byRFType in rf.c")
Signed-off-by: Dorine Tipo <dorine.a.tipo@gmail.com>

Changes since V1:

V2: - Removed the unintended blank line after removing the dead code
    - Removed "in rf.h" from the subject

V3: - Added in the Description Comment about unintended blank line

V4: - Adjusted complete description according to hint from feedback
    - Rebased patch
V5: - Added a missing closing parenthesis in the fixes tag

V6: - Sent the wrong patch for v5. This version includes the fix in v5

Make your "Subject" line more unique. Think that we may end up with having 
dozen of commits like yours, all of them referring to different removals and 
all without the necessary information to tell what they differ in (except 
the driver/subsystem).

I'd rewrite it either as "Remove unused declaration of 
RFbAL7230SelectChannelPostProcess()" if you want to make it clear that you 
are only removing the declaration (not also the definition) or, more briefly, 
as "Remove unused RFbAL7230SelectChannelPostProcess()".

There is no need for "function", since it is made clear by the parentheses 
after the symbol.

Thanks,

Fabio
