Subject: [PATCH 1/1] PowerPC-83xx: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "of_node_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2014 16:18:20 +0100

The of_node_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.
