SubjectRe: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723au: os_dep: usb_intf.c: Fix for possible null pointer dereference
Hi

No the rtw_hw_resume23a() is not used anywhere.
I also do a check of all functions that are not used, but not in the
drivers/staging, I suspected that these might be under development and
used in the future.

What do you want to do, who decides?


Kind regards
Rickard Strandqvist
