Remove it.'

but Frank suggested copying the subject line; so I'm not sure
whether you want more or less!

I could change this to:

'gpi_desc' was never used since it's initial
commit 5d0c3533a19f ("dmaengine: qcom: Add GPI dma driver")
Oops, of course I mean 'reg_info' which is what I fixed in v2.

Would you be OK with that?

Hi Dave,

I saw your v1 interaction after commenting but, I still think commits that say "this removes a data structure" should elaborate more.

"This structure is no longer used since commit: 12charsubshahere" or "This structure was never used and should be considered dead code"

I generally hope the intention of my commits is clear from the code with the commit log adding whatever context or elaboration on top.

So that's what I'm suggesting here. A bit of commit log sugar on top which elaborates on and justifies the change.
