This patch remove variables that are initialized with a constant,
are never updated, and are only used as parameter of return.
Return the constant instead of using a variable.

Verified by compilation only.

The coccinelle script that find and fixes this issue is:

type T;
constant C;
identifier ret;
@@
- T ret = C;
... when != ret
    when strict

<content type='text'>
Ever since v2.3.5 the driver for "Winbond W83977AF (IR)" contains two
unneeded preprocessor macros.

CONFIG_NETWINDER_TX_DMA_PROBLEMS is never defined and can safely be
removed. And CONFIG_NETWINDER_RX_DMA_PROBLEMS is just an alias for
CONFIG_ARCH_NETWINDER, so that (valid) Kconfig macro can be used
instead.

The cpufreq core supports the cpufreq_for_each_valid_entry macro
helper for iteration over the cpufreq_frequency_table, so use it.

It should have no functional changes.

<title>irtty-sir.c: Do not set_termios() on irtty_close()</title>

Issuing set_termios() from irtty_close() causes kernel Oops for
unplugged usb-serial devices.

Since no other tty_ldisc calls set_termios() on close and no tty driver
seem to check if tty-&gt;device_data is NULL or not on entry to set_termios(),
the only solution I can come up with is to remove the irtty_stop_receiver()
call, which only updates termios.

This patch removes old and unsupported CLPS711X IrDA driver.
Support for IrDA for CLPS711X serial port now provided by commit
4a33f1f59abd (serial: clps711x: Add support for N_IRDA line
discipline), so IrDA-mode can be turned ON with "irattach" tool
through "irtty" driver.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.   Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.
