Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [media] Siano: Deletion of an unnecessary check before
 the function call "rc_unregister_device"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 22:32:30 +0100

The rc_unregister_device() 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.
