hippi_neigh_setup_dev() has been unused since
commit e3804cbebb67 ("net: remove COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS")

Remove it.

(I'm a little suspicious it's the only setup call removed
by that previous commit?)

Hi David,

There is a dangling comment referring to hippi_neigh_setup_dev
in hippi_setup().

	/*
	 * HIPPI doesn't support broadcast+multicast and we only use
	 * static ARP tables. ARP is disabled by hippi_neigh_setup_dev.
	 */

Could you fix that up too?
I saw that, and it raised the suspicion that I mentioned in the
commit message; is that code relying on the uncalled, removed
function to disable ARPs?

Dave
