Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" set of staging driver changes for 7.1-rc1. Nothing major in here at all, just lots of little cleanups for the staging drivers, driven by new developers getting their feet wet in kernel development. "Largest" thing in here is the change of some of the octeon variable types into proper kernel ones. Full details are in the shortlog. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'staging-7.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: (154 commits) staging: rtl8723bs: remove redundant & parentheses staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() in poison_channel() staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() in enqueue() staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() in configure_channel() staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() in service_done_flag() staging: most: dim2: replace BUG_ON() in try_start_dim_transfer() staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused RTL8188E antenna selection macros staging: rtl8723bs: remove redundant blank lines in basic_types.h staging: rtl8723bs: wrap complex macros with parentheses staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused WRITEEF/READEF byte macros staging: rtl8723bs: rename camelCase variable staging: greybus: audio: fix error message for BTN_3 button staging: rtl8723bs: rename variables to snake_case staging: rtl8723bs: fix spelling in comment staging: rtl8723bs: cleanup return in sdio_init() staging: rtl8723bs: use direct returns in sdio_dvobj_init() staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused arg at odm_interface.h greybus: raw: fix use-after-free if write is called after disconnect greybus: raw: fix use-after-free on cdev close staging: rtl8723bs: fix logical continuations in xmit_linux.c ...

staging: rtl8723bs: remove redundant & parentheses

staging: rtl8723bs: remove unused RTL8188E antenna selection macros

2026-03-31T08:41:48+00:00

Remove the SET_TX_DESC_ANTSEL_{A,B,C}_88E macros from odm_types.h. These are leftover dead code for the RTL8188E chip and have no callers in the rtl8723bs driver. The RTL8188E is a different chip family and has its own driver at drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu This addresses the TODO item "find and remove any code for other chips that is left over".

staging: rtl8723bs: rename variables to snake_case

2026-03-31T08:34:19+00:00

The Linux kernel coding style guidelines prohibit the use of CamelCase variable names. All variables should be snakecase. Rename the 'ChipVersion' parameter to 'chip_version' and the 'AutoLoadFail' parameter to 'auto_load_fail' in hal_com.c to adhere to the standard snakecase naming convention.

staging: rtl8723bs: cleanup return in sdio_init()

2026-03-31T08:34:05+00:00

Make sdio_init() return errno from sdio_enable_func or sdio_set_block_size instead of _SUCCESS/_FAIL vendor-defined macros. Let rtw_resume_process_normal return errno returned by sdio_init instead of -1. sdio_dvobj_init returns NULL on error so leave that as is. Let sdio_dvobj_init use a slightly more readable and conventional error check for sdio_init().
