From 7448e8e5d15a3c4df649bf6d6d460f78396f7e1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 09:00:57 +0000 Subject: x86/boot: Drop redundant code setting the root device The root device defaults to 0,0 and is no longer configurable at build time [0], so there is no need for the build tool to ever write to this field. [0] 079f85e624189292 ("x86, build: Do not set the root_dev field in bzImage") This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary.
