Subject: [PATCH 1/1] firmware class: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "vunmap"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 11:38:38 +0100

The vunmap() function performes also input parameter validation. Thus the test
around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
