Hi Larry, Phillip and all.

While removing code that checks for the chip type I stumbled upon this:


void odm_DynamicTxPowerNIC(struct odm_dm_struct *pDM_Odm)
{
    if (!(pDM_Odm->SupportAbility & ODM_BB_DYNAMIC_TXPWR))
        return;

    if (pDM_Odm->SupportICType == ODM_RTL8188E) {
        /*  ??? */
        /*  This part need to be redefined. */
    }
}


(pDM_Odm->SupportICType == ODM_RTL8188E) is always true in this driver.
Currently the function does nothing and the driver seems to work fine.
Because of the comment I'm not sure if the whole function can just be
removed?

Yes, I agree. No later driver does anything with this routine, thus it is dead and can be removed.
