[PATCH net-next 4/9] netconsole: move netpoll_local_ip_unset() as netcons_local_ip_unset()
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 11:20:06 EST
Move netpoll_local_ip_unset() from netpoll to netconsole and rename it
to netcons_local_ip_unset();
The body is otherwise unchanged, only the comment's setup-function
reference is updated.
