Subject: net: atm: remove redundant null pointer check on dev->name
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d135e4f263af7da3c2fbe5f99b377cf483b6adf;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

net: atm: remove redundant null pointer check on dev->name

dev->name is a char array of IFNAMSIZ elements, hence can never be
null, so the null pointer check is redundant. Remove it.
