This series removes the comma present after sentinel entries in the match tables across all networking subsystem drivers, with the exception of the davinci_mdio.c driver, for which, the patch posted by Geert at: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e481b6de46cecc6ea604ae165272c667274cc621.1788437140.git.geert+renesas@glider.be/ (local) does the same. Since I inquired about a cleanup across the entire networking subsystem but didn't get a response: https://lore.kernel.org/r/b3d19098-eccd-4619-b667-ad3b7e0a4422@ti.com/ (local) I decided to post this series. Given that Andrew Lunn acknowledged the cleanup of the davinci_mdio driver: https://lore.kernel.org/r/abec6831-d344-489d-b70c-1e5dd4d43c2d@lunn.ch/ (local) and I don't see why the cleanup is specific to davinci_mdio driver alone, I am hoping that this series is treated identically to the patch that Geert had posted for the davinci_mdio driver. Series is based on commit 6ebcf5074cff net: openvswitch: don't schedule rebalancing if there are no datapaths of the 'main' branch of the net-next tree.
You failed to specify why this "cleanup" makes a difference. have you ever seen the sentinel not be the last entry?
