Staging: rtl8712: Eliminate use of _cancel_timer_ex
Use timer API function del_timer_sync instead of driver specific function _cancel_timer_ex as besides deactivating a timer, it ensures that the timer is stopped on all CPUs before the driver exists. Also, definition of function _cancel_timer_ex is removed as it is no longer needed after this change. This is done using Coccinelle and semantic patch used for this is as follows: @@ expression x; @@ - _cancel_timer_ex (&x); + del_timer_sync (&x); Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar <vthakkar1994@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
