Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "snd_info_free_entry"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:15:28 +0200

The snd_info_free_entry() 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.
