X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=95eff20feb679a2223a6da1e7f272fe9aa99591e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] Don't check pointer for NULL before passing it to kfree [arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c]

Checking a pointer for NULL before passing it to kfree is pointless, kfree
does its own NULL checking of input.
