This patch removes two useful initialisation in the
stmmac_rx and stmmac_tx function.
In the former, count var was already reset and in the
stmmac_tx we only need to increment the dirty pointer
w/o setting the entry var.

There are so many problems with this patch I do not know where
to start.

Your subject line says the initializations are "useless" yet
your commit message says they are "useful".

This is a cleanup, and does not fix any bugs, and is therefore
absolutely not appropriate for the 'net' tree.

I'm tossing this entire series, you need to be more careful
with your submissions.

Sorry, I meant "useless".

Yes this is not a fix but a cleanup.

I've not clear where I have to post this patch.
Do you mean, w/o net.git entry in the patch subject?
Can you tell me what I have to do? So will resend all the patches again
but I'll be more careful on all.

This is mind boggling that you can't figure this out.

If I tell you it's not appropriate for net, that means
it obviously must go to net-next

I'm sending all the patches: I have verified that there are no issues
while building net.git and net-next and re-looked at all my comments and
subjects.
