Hi Shinya,
Thanks for the patch to clean this up. While I agree with the patch, I
would appreciate respinning it:
* I should be an "Acked by" rather than a signed off by since I didn't
do anything to generate the patch itself.
* I would also offer the following summary rather than quoting my
original email (including the 6(!) year reference, which will look kinda
funny in 2012 ;-):
Remove the "terse" version of the mii command, eliminating an #ifdef and
apparently unused code. The space savings of the "terse" version is not
significant and it isn't worth the extra maintenance effort to keep it.
Acked-by: Gerald Van Baren <vanbaren at cideas.com>
Thanks,
gvb
