Subject: [PATCH] [media] cec: Delete an unnecessary check before the function
 call "rc_free_device"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2016 22:52:49 +0200

The rc_free_device() 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.
