cppcheck reports [drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_mid.c:594]: (warning) Assignment of function parameter has no effect outside the function. Did you forget dereferencing it? [drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_mid.c:620]: (warning) Assignment of function parameter has no effect outside the function. Did you forget dereferencing it? The functions qla25xx_free_req_que and qla25xx_free_rsp_que are similar. They free a 'req' and a 'rsp' parameter respectively. The last statement of both functions is setting the parameter to NULL. This has no effect and can be removed.
