From b761aefff4dbf6628571c203427ab862f2184900 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2016 20:04:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: tmc: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree" The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
