Staging: wilc1000: Remove null check before kfree
kfree on NULL pointer is a no-op. This patch uses the following semantic patch to find such an instance where NULL check is present before kfree. // <smpl> @@ expression E; @@ - if (E != NULL) { kfree(E); } + kfree(E); @@ expression E; @@ - if (E != NULL) { kfree(E); E = NULL; } + kfree(E); + E = NULL; // </smpl>smpl> Signed-off-by: Shraddha Barke <shraddha.6596@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
