Would you like to integrate the following proposal into your source code repository?

Subject: [PATCH] GPU-DRM-nouveau: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two
 function calls

A semantic patch approach was proposed with the subject "[PATCH with
Coccinelle?] Deletion of unnecessary checks before specific function calls"
on 2014-03-05.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/5/344
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.coccinelle/3513/

This patch pattern application was repeated with the help of the software
"Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc22" on the source files for Linux 3.17.1. An extract
of the automatically generated update suggestions is shown here.

It was determined that the affected source code places call functions
which perform input parameter validation already. It is therefore not
needed that a similar safety check is repeated at the call site.
