The patch titled
     Avoid possible NULL pointer deref in 3c359 driver
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Avoid possible NULL pointer deref in 3c359 driver
From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx>

In xl_freemem(), if dev_if is NULL, the line

  struct xl_private *xl_priv =(struct xl_private *)dev->priv;

will cause a NULL pointer dereference.

(akpm: don't try to fix it: just delete the pointless test-for-null)
