Subject: [PATCH 1/1] video: mx3fb: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "backlight_device_unregister"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 15:15:29 +0100

The backlight_device_unregister() 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.
