Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call
 "acpi_ut_strupr"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 16:12:32 +0100

The acpi_ut_strupr() 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.
