[PATCH] PCI: Remove pci_request_region_exclusive()

From: Johannes Thumshirn
Date: Wed Apr 17 2019 - 04:24:07 EST


pci_request_region_exclusive() was introduced with commit e8de1481fd71
("resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device drivers") in 2.6.29 which
was released 2008.

It never had an in tree user since then, so after 11 years later let's
remove it.
