From: Alan Tull Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 17:38:38 +0000 (-0500) Subject: fpga manager: remove unnecessary null pointer checks X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=92d94a7ec552fafaa036fdb04d0894d6c444cafb;p=linux-beck.git fpga manager: remove unnecessary null pointer checks Remove unnecessary null pointer checks. We want the caller of these functions to do their own pointer checks. Add some comments to document this.
