Subject: [PATCH 1/1] video: uvesafb: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "uvesafb_free"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 11:00:26 +0100

The uvesafb_free() 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.
