[PATCH v2] ACPI: nfit: remove redundant assignment if nfit_mem found

[PATCH v2] ACPI: nfit: remove redundant assignment if nfit_mem found

[oceanhehy]

From: Ocean He <hehy1@lenovo.com>

When nfit_mem is found via list_for_each_entry, it has already been
assigned valid value. There is no need to assign it again in the following
codes.

Hi Ocean,

While this is technically correct, the old way was easier to read. We
loop through and find the matching handle. If we found one, then
nfit_mem was whatever was found. If not, we allocate it.

With this change, one has to go grok the list_for_.. loop to figure out
where nfit_mem is coming from. I'd personally prefer to keep the
existing way..

Hi Verma,

You're right that it took me some time to find out where nfit_mem
was found, when I look these codes at first.

It's reasonable to keep the existing way for well readability.

Thanks,
Ocean.
