Subject: [PATCH] GPU-DRM-ps8622: Delete an unnecessary check before
 backlight_device_unregister()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 14:38:34 +0100

The backlight_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.
