Subject: staging: comedi: remove unneeded sanity check in insn_bits functions
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=520706607befd1f5c20ec14db35d6be45791bc41;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

staging: comedi: remove unneeded sanity check in insn_bits functions

The comedi core does the sanity check to make sure that the data length
the INSN_BITS instruction is 2. There is no need for the drivers to do
this check. Remove all the sanity checks in the drivers.
