If qeth detects a layer mismatch, device activation fails. Trying to recover from this error cannot help; thus scheduling a recovery should be avoided. In addition, since recovery is forbidden during online setting of a qeth device, existence of its network device is guaranteed for all dev_close() calls in qeth. The corresponding checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun Signed-off-by: Frank Blaschka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
