Subject: [PATCH 1/1] video: fbdev-LCDC: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "vfree"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2014 16:51:31 +0100

The vfree() function performs also input parameter validation.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
