[PATCH v2] staging: axis-fifo: remove unused r_mem local variable

From: Breno Rodrigues Alves

Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 06:40:29 EST


Remove 'struct resource *r_mem' from axis_fifo_probe(). It is filled
in by devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() but never read; pass
NULL instead.

This is v2 of a three-change series. The debugfs_create_dir() check
was dropped because debugfs has handled ERR_PTR parents gracefully
since 2019 (thanks Greg and Dan for the correction). The
-EINVAL -> -ENOBUFS change was dropped as well, after Dan Carpenter
noted that -EINVAL is the common errno for this path and that he
would leave the choice to the author.
