SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] Staging: rtl8712: Removed unused return variable

You should hold off with V2 to give others a chance to comment.

Your commit message does not exactly describe what is happening. The return
variable is not unused. More accurately, you have rewritten the routine to
always return a constant.

I have not looked at the generated code, but I suspect that gcc is already doing
that when it optimizes the code. If you really want to reduce the size of the
generated code, there is no reason for this function to be of type uint. It
should be type void and not return anything.
