From 3019de124b9f5b1526cb3668b74af14371e21795 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 16:41:33 -0700 Subject: net: Rework netdev_drivername() to avoid warning. This interface uses a temporary buffer, but for no real reason. And now can generate warnings like: net/sched/sch_generic.c: In function dev_watchdog net/sched/sch_generic.c:254:10: warning: unused variable drivername Just return driver->name directly or "".
