Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: rtl8723bs: simplify NULL pointer comparisons in rtw_recv.h
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 22:27:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E34BC08B-D9F1-444A-8D67-692B44819B29@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430201158.2807823-1-abhai@protonmail.com>

> 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.
