Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Sony-laptop: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "pci_dev_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 22:00:21 +0100

The pci_dev_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.
