Subject: [PATCH 1/9] staging: ks7010: Delete unnecessary checks before the
 function call "kfree"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2016 13:14:57 +0200

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the calls is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
