Hi Jeremiah,

Thanks for your feedback.

I have used checkpatch.pl with the --strict flag:

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c
CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!cps"
#51: FILE: drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c:51:
+   if (cps == NULL)

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!name"
#333: FILE: drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c:333:
+   if (name == NULL)

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!r"
#382: FILE: drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c:382:
+   if (r == NULL)

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!base"
#386: FILE: drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c:386:
+   if (base == NULL)

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!nand"
#402: FILE: drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c:402:
+   if (nand == NULL)

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 5 checks, 442 lines checked

drivers/staging/goldfish/goldfish_nand.c has style problems, please review.

I have also found another commit having the same purpose: 7f376cd6dc1c9bfd14514c70765e6900a961c4b8
