Subject: [PATCH] uwb/whci: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "umc_device_unregister"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2015 21:40:29 +0100

The umc_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.
