Subject: [PATCH 1/1] IBM-EMAC: Deletion of unnecessary checks before the function
 call "of_dev_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:22:47 +0100

The of_dev_put() 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.
