Thanks for your feedback.

Does this example show a conflict between long comments like
"snd_emu10k1_ctl_private_free( ... *kctl)" after patch ranges and line length
limitation for email eventually?

I have attached my update suggestion with a slightly different commit title as
before. Is this variant acceptable?

Markus

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: emu10k1: Deletion of unnecessary checks before three
 function calls

The functions kfree(), release_firmware() and snd_util_memhdr_free() test
whether their argument is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test
around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
