Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ALSA: es1688_lib: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "release_and_free_resource"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 19:05:50 +0100

The release_and_free_resource() 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.
