From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 13:50:43 +0200 The pci_dev_put() 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.

The same patch was posted independently (and earlier) by Maninder Singh, but I think we concluded that the code was more understandable without this change, as the test within pci_dev_put() is more of a safety net.
