Clang warns that the address of a pointer will always evaluated as true in a boolean context: drivers/staging/wilc1000/linux_wlan.c:267:20: warning: address of 'vif->ndev->dev' will always evaluate to 'true' [-Wpointer-bool-conversion] if (!(&vif->ndev->dev)) ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~ 1 warning generated. Since this statement always evaluates to false due to the logical not, remove it.
