[PATCH] [SCSI] esas2r: remove redundant NULL check on buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

buffer is a pointer to the static char array event_buffer and
therefore can never be null, so the check is redundant. Remove it.
