Variable rtstatus is being initialized with a value that is never
read as it is being overwritten inside a do-while loop. Clean up
the code by removing the redundant initialization.

alloc_etherdev function internally calls kvzalloc . So we may not need
explicit memset after this call.

Pull staging / IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and iio driver update for 5.2-rc1.

  Lots of tiny fixes all over the staging and IIO driver trees here,
  along with some new IIO drivers.

  The "counter" subsystem was added in here as well, as it is needed by
  the IIO drivers and subsystem.

  Also we ended up deleting two drivers, making this pull request remove
  a few hundred thousand lines of code, always a nice thing to see. Both
  of the drivers removed have been replaced with "real" drivers in their
  various subsystem directories, and they will be coming to you from
  those locations during this merge window.

  There are some core vt/selection changes in here, that was due to some
  cleanups needed for the speakup fixes. Those have all been acked by
  the various subsystem maintainers (i.e. me), so those are ok.

  We also added a few new drivers, for some odd hardware, giving new
  developers plenty to work on with basic coding style cleanups to come
  in the near future.

  Other than that, nothing unusual here.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues, other than an odd gcc warning for one of the new drivers that
  should be fixed up soon"

[ I fixed up the warning myself  - Linus ]

<title>crypto: shash - remove shash_desc::flags</title>

<id>877b5691f27a1aec0d9b53095a323e45c30069e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything.
The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP.
However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op.

With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP.  These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping.  For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API.  However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.

Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk.  It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.

Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

<title>staging: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig</title>

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.
