Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [media] DVB: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "dvb_unregister_device"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 16:01:40 +0100

The dvb_unregister_device() 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.
