Subject: [patch 2/2] mwifiex: remove unneeded NULL check
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:13:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110921071356.GG4999@elgon.mountain> (raw)

We dereference "rate" on the lines before so the checks here are too
late to help.  This function is only called from
mwifiex_dump_station_info() and "rate" is always a non-NULL pointer
so the check can be removed.
