From 4f94a929e4adb0d0ed78d448ff68fe870163c575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Glendinning Date: Fri, 4 May 2012 00:57:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] smsc75xx: eliminate unnecessary phy register read Only a write is necessary to clear the interrupt status, and we don't use the value from the preceding read operation. This patch eliminates the unnecessary read. Signed-off-by: Steve Glendinning Signed-off-by: David S.
