Subject: [PATCH 0/4] staging: rtl8192e: Remove NULL checks of function
 pointers - struct rtllib_device

Remove NULL checks of function pointers from struct rtllib_device. This
checks are unnecessary because the function pointers are set right when
the driver is loaded.

Here the flow when function pointers are set: 
.probe	= _rtl92e_pci_probe
In _rtl92e_pci_probe the function _rtl92e_init is called. In the second
line of _rtl92e_init is _rtl92e_init_priv_handler called that sets all
the required function calls.

Tested with rtl8192e
Transferred this patch over wlan connection of rtl8192e
