Subject: [PATCH] isa: Remove unnecessary checks

The isa_dev->dev.platform_data is initialized with incoming
parameter isa_driver. After it isa_dev->dev.platform_data is
checked for NULL, but incoming parameter isa_driver is not
NULL since it is dereferenced many times before this check.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
