[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/qede: fix warnings from invalid assert' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.3

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/28/19. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/549d22e1da0df69e83007a4d64d83dedf4f34607

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/qede: fix warnings from invalid assert
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

[ upstream commit 8db9a3145b9670ccc9030abbc0d20956b2ebb26e ]

This driver had a bogus assert which could never happen.
This triggers "expression is always false warnings" with some
compilers which causes build failure.
Just remove it.

Fixes: 2af14ca79c0a ("net/qede: support 100G")
