[PATCH] net: dsa: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "put_device"

Show all headers | View raw

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2015 17:58:00 +0100

The put_device() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
