Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ARM-OMAP2+: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two
 function calls

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Some functions which release a system resource tolerate the passing
of a null pointer. I do not see a need because of this fact
that a function caller repeats a corresponding check.

Markus Elfring (2):
  Delete a check before the function call "omap_device_delete"
  Delete a check before the function call "of_node_put"
