Subject: [PATCH] IBM-EMAC: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "of_dev_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 19:47:33 +0100

The of_dev_put() 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.
