* [PATCH] saa7164-dvb: Remove unnecessary null test

  To: Mauro Carvalho Chehab, linux-media, linux-kernel; +Cc: julia.lawall

This patch removes the null test on dvb. dvb is initialized at the
beginning of the function to &port->dvb. Since port is dereferenced
prior to the null test, port must be a valid pointer, and
&port->dvb cannot be null.

The following Coccinelle script is used for detecting the change:

@r@
expression e,f;
identifier g,y;
statement S1,S2;
@@

*e = &f->g
<+...
 f->y
 ...+>
*if (e != NULL || ...)
 S1 else S2
