#1290615 — [PATCH v2] Staging: iio: accel: Fixed NULL comparison style

Subject[PATCH v2] Staging: iio: accel: Fixed NULL comparison style
Message-ID<qFfce-yf-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
The variable u8 **rx_p, is a pointer-to-pointer and hence the check should
be "if (!*rx_p)" and not "if (!rx_p)".
In the earlier version, checkpatch.pl gave the following check, which was
buggy:
CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!rx_p"
+       if (*rx_p == NULL) {

 Changes in v2:
        -Replaced "if (!rx_p)" with "if (!*rx_p)"

In reply to#1290615
You have to resend it to apply on the original code, we are not going to
apply the first version of this patch.  In other words it is:

-	if (*rx_p == NULL) {
+	if (!*rxp) {
