Subject: Eliminate get_driver() and put_driver()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9875bb480cc89d9b690f7028aadf7e58454f0dae;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

Eliminate get_driver() and put_driver()

Now that there are no users of get_driver() or put_driver(), this
patch (as1513) removes those routines completely.
