From 9173a88f46bf53e2fa85337563b39e13c43c7f2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matvejchikov Ilya Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 21:46:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] slip: remove redundant check slip_devs for NULL As slip_devs is initialized on module load stage there is no reason to check it for NULL anywhere instead of the deinitialization routine because if we can't get enough memory on startup we don't run at all.
