From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 16:07:43 +0100 The backlight_device_unregister() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
