Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM-OMAP2+: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "of_node_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:05:28 +0200

The of_node_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.
