Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mtip32xx: Adjust an input validation check in
 mtip_hw_debugfs_exit()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 6 Aug 2017 20:52:26 +0200

The script "checkpatch.pl" pointed information out like the following.

WARNING: debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is safe and this check is probably not required

Thus adjust this source code place.
