Since you're not really fixing anything here, besides silencing a
checkpatch suggestion when run with the --strict option (or on staging
code), I suggest you reword you commit summary (Subject) to, for
example:

	staging: greybus: camera: clean up NULL checks

or similar.

Note that I also added "camera" as a module prefix above.

Thanks,
Johan
