Subject: [2.6 patch] drivers/net/acenic.c: fix check-after-use
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 10:02:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070723080232.GF26212@stusta.de> (raw)

The Coverity checker noted that we've already dereferenced "dev" when we 
check whether it's NULL.

Since it's impossible that "dev" is NULL at this place this patch 
removes the NULL check.
