Subject: [POWERPC] lparcfg: Remove useless buffer allocation
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~1131^2~344
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d9dc4b473f7224cc1798c96d5dba84b69212163;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-exynos.git

[POWERPC] lparcfg: Remove useless buffer allocation

The 'data' member of proc_ppc64_lparcfg is unused, but the lparcfg
module's init routine allocates 4K for it.

Remove the code which allocates and frees this buffer.
