[PATCH v3] staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused function declarations

From: Aditya Chari

Date: Sat Jul 18 2026 - 11:08:07 EST


rtl8192c_translate_rx_signal_stuff() and rtl8192c_query_rx_desc_status()
are declared in rtl8192c_recv.h but have no implementation and no
caller anywhere in the kernel tree. They are leftover from when this
driver was derived from Realtek's shared vendor codebase covering
multiple chip families.

Verified via grep across the full tree that neither symbol is
referenced outside this declaration, and confirmed via a full build
of the module before and after removal that no warnings or errors
are introduced.

This addresses the "find and remove any code for other chips that is
left over" item in the driver's TODO file.
