After obtaining a property from of_find_property() and before calling of_remove_property() most code checks to ensure that the property returned from of_find_property() is not null. The previous patch moved this check to the start of the function of_remove_property() in order to avoid the case where this check isn't done and a null value is passed. This ensures the check is always conducted before taking locks and attempting to remove the property. Thus it is no longer necessary to perform a check for null values before invoking of_remove_property(). Update of_remove_property() call sites in order to remove redundant checking for null property value as check is now performed within the of_remove_property function().
