[PATCH] staging: dgap: remove unnecessary function

From: Daeseok Youn
Date: Wed Nov 05 2014 - 04:00:30 EST


The dgap_init_global() initialize the dgap_board
that is a global variable as static and dgap_poll_timer.
But init_timer() is called twice in dgap_start() and dgap_board
doesn't need to be initialized to NULL.
