From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 15:56:57 +0200 The functions kfree() and release_firmware() test whether their argument is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around the calls is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
