where we are checking for (pTDInfo->skb), we are using it  in above line.
and it does not look good, thats why we should remove thse checks and i have suggested
changes.

code snippet:-
-----------------------

if (pTDInfo->skb_dma && (pTDInfo->skb_dma != pTDInfo->buf_dma))
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is allocated after ->skb so if ->skb_dma is non-NULL then ->skb is
also non-NULL.

     dma_unmap_single(&pDevice->pcid->dev, pTDInfo->skb_dma,
              pTDInfo->skb->len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);

Is this a static checker warning?  If so then it's a false positive.


This is old code dma_unmap_single never happens and is to be removed.

pTDInfo->skb now originates from mac80211.

I am in the process of tiding up pTDInfo that removes skb_dma.

In the past, this driver several API's sharing the same device now it has just one.
