From 34bdb981f7cb446259b0999d40f090c16f732eca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Klauser Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 15:39:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: vt6656: Remove unnecesssary NULL check pFifoHead points to tx_buffer->fifo_head which can never be NULL. We also don't need to check for tx_buffer being NULL instead, since it always points to ->Data of struct vnt_usb_send_context - the pointer to which was checked before calling s_vGenerateTxParameter(). Silences a dereference before NULL check warning reported by the coverity scanner in CID 1127221.
