[RFC: 2.6 patch] drivers/acpi/utilities/utmisc.c: remove 4 unused global functions

From: Adrian Bunk
Date: Fri Feb 03 2006 - 15:20:36 EST


This patch removes the following four unused global functions from
drivers/acpi/utilities/utmisc.c:
- acpi_ut_strupr()
- acpi_ut_generate_checksum()
- acpi_ut_report_warning()
- acpi_ut_report_info()

Is this patch OK or is future usage planned or are they still used on
other operating systems?
