Subject: [PATCH 1/1] char: tpm: Deletion of unnecessary checks before the
 function call "tpm_dev_vendor_release"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:44:15 +0100

The tpm_dev_vendor_release() 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.
