[PATCH net-next 2/6] doc, net: Remove obsolete reference to dev->poll

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2012-04-06 00:39:14
Subsystem: documentation, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Commit bea3348eef27e6044b6161fd04c3152215f96411 ('[NET]: Make NAPI
polling independent of struct net_device objects.') removed the
automatic disabling of NAPI polling by dev_close(), and drivers
must now do this themselves.
