Subject: [PATCH] memory: omap-gpmc: Delete an unnecessary check before the
 function call "gpiochip_free_own_desc"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2016 18:54:02 +0200

The gpiochip_free_own_desc() 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.
