From 5e747dd9be54be190dd6ebeebf4a4a01ba765625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2018 00:22:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/char/random.c: remove unused dont_count_entropy Ever since "random: kill dead extract_state struct" [1], the dont_count_entropy member of struct timer_rand_state has been effectively unused. Since it hasn't found a new use in 12 years, it's probably safe to finally kill it.
