Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mei: gsc: remove unnecessary NULL pointer checks

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@...gle.com>

The .remove() and power management callbacks are never called unless
probe() has already returned success, which means it has set drvdata to a
non-NULL pointer, so "dev" can never be NULL in the other callbacks.

Remove the unnecessary checks.
