Subject: firewire: fw-sbp2: remove unnecessary locking
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc1~187^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=621f6dd715209d3c3c27841943ae71fc2c75c9f5;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

firewire: fw-sbp2: remove unnecessary locking

What was I thinking when I added sbp2_set_generation()?  Its locking did
nothing (except for implicitly providing the necessary barrier between
node IDs update and generation update).
