The macro is used in compat.h line 55, is it not ?

IFF_BRIDGE_PORT appears in this line but here is the context:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 36)

HERE IT IS *NOT* USED

#elif LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 9, 0)

HERE IT IS USED

#endif /* < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 36) */

The IFF_BRIDGE_PORT (which I call unused( is only required in this other compat hack when the kernel is >= 2.6.36 and < 3.9.0. But the one I want to remove is only for kernels < 2.6.36.

Good point. The patch was applied in revision 312ea8a.

Thanks, Marek
