Hello,
Unpatched version does sth like this:
dev = alloc_etherdev(...
private = netdev_priv(dev);
...
dev->priv = private;
which doesn't make much sense (does it?) because this is done in
alloc_netdev() already.
struct net_device *alloc_netdev(...
{
...
if (sizeof_priv)
dev->priv = netdev_priv(dev);
This patch removes superfluous code.
