There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference.

Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

Although cppcheck's analysis is correct, pointer padapter can never be null in any of these routines. In routine rtw_drv_init(), rtw_usb_if1_init() is called to allocate memory for struct adapter for the driver. If that fails, none of these other routines will ever be called as the driver will not be loaded.

If it is deemed better to fill the code with needless tests because some static checker points out a place like this, that is OK with me, but I do not see the point.
