Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ALSA: trident: Deletion of a check before snd_util_memhdr_free()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 18:52:21 +0100

The snd_util_memhdr_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.
