xbc_verify_tree() checks that every node's next and child are below xbc_node_num. Both fields store the index of an existing node, which is below xbc_node_num. So remove the checks. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Sang-Heon Jeon <redacted> --- lib/bootconfig.c | 13 +------------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 12 deletions(-)
