From 1514dc857f8ebbeb44da09236efa133ed6e15615 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillaume Nault Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 11:54:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: remove useless device duplication test in l2tp_eth_create() There's no need to verify that cfg->ifname is unique at this point. register_netdev() will return -EEXIST if asked to create a device with a name that's alrealy in use.
