Subject: staging: comedi: remove in_request_module
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a5897f77607c52acb078b152b59fbe29ac92c640;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

staging: comedi: remove in_request_module

The `in_request_module` member of `struct comedi_device` is only ever
set to `false`, so remove the code that checks for it being `true` and
remove the member.
