What I don't understand in particular is why you are mentioning the caller (__parse_crashkernel) here. ck_cmdline is a local variable to get_last_crashkernel. So the caller cannot perform any check on the variable but only the return value of the function. So the patch description should describe why we can remove the additional return NULL without changing the behavior of the function.
