net: dsa: felix: remove dead code in felix_setup_mmio_filtering()
There has been some controversy related to the sanity check that a CPU port exists, and commit e8b1d769 ("net: dsa: felix: Fix memory leak in felix_setup_mmio_filtering") even "corrected" an apparent memory leak as static analysis tools see it. However, the check is completely dead code, since the earliest point at which felix_setup_mmio_filtering() can be called is: felix_pci_probe -> dsa_register_switch -> dsa_switch_probe -> dsa_tree_setup -> dsa_tree_setup_cpu_ports -> dsa_tree_setup_default_cpu -> contains the "DSA: tree %d has no CPU port\n" check -> dsa_tree_setup_master -> dsa_master_setup -> sysfs_create_group(&dev->dev.kobj, &dsa_group); -> makes tagging_store() callable -> dsa_tree_change_tag_proto -> dsa_tree_notify -> dsa_switch_event -> dsa_switch_change_tag_proto -> ds->ops->change_tag_protocol -> felix_change_tag_protocol -> felix_set_tag_protocol -> felix_setup_tag_8021q -> felix_setup_mmio_filtering -> breaks at first CPU port So probing would have failed earlier if there wasn't any CPU port defined. To avoid all confusion, delete the dead code and replace it with a comment. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
