Subject: [PATCH 1/1] USB-SIS: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the
 function call "usb_put_dev"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:50:44 +0100

The usb_put_dev() 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.
