From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> lance_interrupt() contains two pointless checks: - A check whether the 'dev_id' argument is NULL. 'dev_id' is the pointer which was handed in to request_irq() and the interrupt handler will always be invoked with that pointer as 'dev_id' argument by the core code. - A check for interrupt reentrancy. The core code already guarantees non-reentrancy of interrupt handlers. Remove these check.
