+Subject: ipmi: msghandler: Make symbol 'remove_work_wq' static
+
+From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@huawei.com>
+
+commit 5a3ba99b62d8486de0316334e72ac620d4b94fdd upstream.
+
+The sparse tool complains as follows:
+
+drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:194:25: warning:
+ symbol 'remove_work_wq' was not declared. Should it be static?
+
+This symbol is not used outside of ipmi_msghandler.c, so
+marks it static.
+
+Fixes: 1d49eb91e86e ("ipmi: Move remove_work to dedicated workqueue")
