Subject: [Patch] Remove unnecessary check in drivers/rtc/rtc-v3020.c
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 00:49:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1159397376.14069.5.camel@alice> (raw)

hi,

looks like the probe function always gets a valid pdev,
and checking it after dereferencing it is pretty useless.
This patch removes the check (cid #1365)
