Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: simplify NULL pointer comparisons in rtw_recv.h
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:12:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430201158.2807823-1-abhai@protonmail.com> (raw)

Fix checkpatch.pl warnings regarding explicit comparisons to NULL.
The kernel coding style prefers the shorter if (!ptr) idiom over
if (ptr == NULL). Clean up the inline functions in rtw_recv.h to
match this standard.
