[PATCH v6 0/2] Cleanup duplicate NULL tests on a value

[PATCH v6 0/2] Cleanup duplicate NULL tests on a value

[Abraham Samuel Adekunle]

Changes in v5:
	- Splitted patch v4 into a patchset with two patches so as to
	 proper explanation of each change due to different code patterns
	 in the change as suggested by Julia Lawall.
	 - Modified commit messages in each patch to properly explain the changes
	 show the initial NULL tests on the value.
	 - Added Subject title to each patch to be specific to the value being NULL tested.
Changed in v4:
	- Separated initially integrated suggested change
	 "use modulo % 4096 over & 0xfff" to a different patch.
Changes in v3:
	- Changed other cases to use modulo (% 4096) over (& 0xofff).
	- Modified commit message to reflect these changes.
Changes in v2:
	- Dropped patch files for media drivers from patchset as it is
	  not meant for outreachy applicants.
	- Added full-stop aign to text in commit message.
	- Made code more readable by adding a line break.
	- Changed cases to use modulo (% 4096) over (& 0xfff).
Changes in v1
	- Patch for drivers/staging/media/av7110/sp8870.c and
	- drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_gmin_platform.c
	  is split into two different patches in the patchset for use by the different
	  driver maintainers.
	- Added subject title for each of the separated patches.
	- Patch 1: Removed unnecessary curly braces {} initially inserted.
	- Patch 2: Unnecessary {} was also removed for v1.

[PATCH v6 1/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Remove duplicate NULL tests on pstat

[Abraham Samuel Adekunle]

The pstat pointer has been previously tested for NULL after being
initialized as seen from line 970-973 of the file.
The first NULL test is shown below:

		pstat = rtw_get_stainfo(pstapriv, GetAddr2Ptr(pframe));
		 if (!pstat) {
			 status = WLAN_REASON_CLASS2_FRAME_FROM_NONAUTH_STA;
			goto asoc_class2_error;
		}

Remove the second NULL test to avoid redundancy in code.

It's too much for such a change. You can do that in the comment area
(after '---' line below), or drop it completely. You can rephrase that
the pointer is checked before the changed lines.

[PATCH v6 2/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Prevent duplicate NULL tests on psta pointer

[Abraham Samuel Adekunle]

The psta pointer had previously been tested for NULL after initialization,
as seen in the code below:

		psta = rtw_get_stainfo(&padapter->stapriv, pattrib->ra);
		...
                if (!psta)
			return _FAIL;
This makes a second NULL test on psta unnecessary.

Remove the second NULL test on psta to avoid redundancy in code.

P.S. Here the commit message is fine, however misindented
(check the indentation).
