Subject: [patch] Staging: bcm: remove unneeded NULL check
Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:57:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101008125744.GN11681@bicker> (raw)

The error handling here is wrong.  If psIntfAdapter were NULL then we
would have a NULL dereference in the debug output on the error path.
But this function is only called from usbbcm_device_probe() when
psIntfAdapter is non-NULL.

Since the check isn't needed and I removed it instead of fixing it.
