This change may get rid of the warning, but is has the slight
disadvantage that the kernel will blow up if you try to unload the sound
modules before all device files have been closed.

If you want to get rid of this warning, tell the compiler that fops_get
knows what it does; or try making fops_get an inline function instead of
a macro.

This was already fixed in a different way on 2.6.25-rc.

    [ALSA] fix compilation warning in GCC
    
    'snd_shutdown_f_ops' is not a pointer so its address will never be NULL.
    GCC will complain because 'fops_get' will do an unnecessary check because
    '&snd_shutdown_f_ops' is always true.
