Hi Breno,

The same patch proposal was previously made and the changes have already
been merged into mainline in the current merge window:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260907-nilfs2-dead-code-cleanup-v2-1-fa1ab5b0abd6@xxxxxxxxx/

Before submitting a patch, please make sure to check the latest mainline
master branch, the linux-next tree, and mailing list history.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
