Re: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: include: use inline functions for dvobj_to_dev

[Julia Lawall]

other patches on this file don't have the word "include:" in the subject.
Please see the section "Following the Driver commit style" of the tutorial
to see what to do.

similar patch that was recently proposed.
