From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> It is not necessary to look up the thermal zone and the cooling device in the respective global lists to check whether or not they are registered. It is sufficient to check whether or not their respective list nodes are empty for this purpose. Use the above observation to simplify thermal_bind_cdev_to_trip(). In addition, eliminate an unnecessary ternary operator from it. Moreover, add lockdep_assert_held() for thermal_list_lock to it because that lock must be held by its callers when it is running. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
