Hi Chen,

Please make your "Subject" line more unique. Consider 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). So it would help if you add the changed file or function to make it more unique.

Also typically we use space after : and driver name in the subject.

It is not required to add the name of the tool who found this. Much more important is a good description __why__ this change makes sense...
For example:
.. to shorten code.
.. to improve readability.

If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change history. Description from Dan under:

Feel free to contact me direct for further questions.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
