From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx> cppcheck reports [drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c:2686]: (warning) Assignment of function parameter has no effect outside the function. Did you forget dereferencing it? The setting of the 'sta' parameter is not needed. In the if-check that sets it to NULL, mvm_sta is also set to NULL. Then the next statement checks if mvm_sta is NULL and does an early return. So remove setting sta.
