Smatch complains that the NULL checking in this function is not consistent and could lead to a NULL dereference. The comments say that we should return here if rc_dev is NULL so I've changed the test to match the comment. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Only needed in linux-next. This is a static checker fix and I don't have the hardware to test it.
