Subject: driver core: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "put_device"
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f0163a5ee9cc7c59751768bdfd94a73186debba;p=linux-beck.git

driver core: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "put_device"

The put_device() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
