The call netdev_{put, hold} of dev_{put, hold} will check NULL, so there is no need to check before using dev_{put, hold}, remove it to silence the warnings: ./drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:713:2-9: WARNING: NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed. ./drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:2433:2-9: WARNING: NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed.
