Subject: staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused code blocks completed?

Hi,

I'm trying to search other unused code blocks:

grep -r '^\(#ifdef \|#if defined(\|#ifndef \)CONFIG_' drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/

drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c:#if defined(CONFIG_PM)
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c:#if defined(CONFIG_PM)
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c:#if defined(CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV)
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/drv_conf.h:#ifndef CONFIG_RTW_HIQ_FILTER
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/include/autoconf.h:#ifndef CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT

all blocks left are checked by existing defines.
Could we apply this?

thank you,

fabio
