Subject: [PATCH] GPU-DRM-i915: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "pwm_put"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 13:38:22 +0100

The pwm_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.
