Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2013 15:35:52 +0300 From: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@...el.com> To: gregkh@...uxfoundation.org Cc: arnd@...db.de, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org, Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@...el.com>, Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org> Subject: [char-misc-next] hpet: remove useless check if fixmem32 is NULL fixmem32 is assigned to address of res->data member so the address is always valid Actually since we are not checking for res != NULL static analyzing is complaining about referencing the pointer and consequent check for null. The code snippet looks confusing also for human eyes.
