Subject: [PATCH] gpio: Remove impossible checks on container_of() result
Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 11:47:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170109194744.24152-1-sboyd@codeaurora.org> (raw)
container_of() does pointer math on the pointer that's passed in.
If it were to return a NULL pointer the value passed in would
need to be perfectly offset from 0 to make that so. Remove these
checks because they don't make sense.
