I've said the same things before, and I'll say them again.

Having an unused variable like this could be an indication of a bug
introduced by an earlier change; maybe we should still be using the
variable but no longer do. Please figure out when the variable became
unused and reference the commit so we can tell.

If cgel.zte@...il.com sends the patches, we'll need their name and
Signed-off-by too.

Thanks for the report, but I'll consider this as a report only.


BR,
Jani.
