Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ALSA: hda: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two
 function calls

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:44:33 +0100

The functions kfree() and release_firmware() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around the call
is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
