Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [media] tuners: Deletion of unnecessary checks before
 the function call "release_firmware"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 19:05:48 +0100

The release_firmware() 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.
