Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] Cleanup duplicate NULL tests on a value

Changes in v5:
	- Splitted patch v4 into a patchset with two patches so as to
	 proper explanation of each change due to different code patterns
	 in the change as suggested by Julia Lawall.
	 - Modified commit messages in each patch to properly explain the changes
	 show the initial NULL tests on the value.
	 - Added Subject title to each patch to be specific to the value being NULL tested.
Changed in v4:
	- Separated initially integrated suggested change
	 "use modulo % 4096 over & 0xfff" to a different patch.
Changes in v3:
	- Changed other cases to use modulo (% 4096) over (& 0xofff).
	- Modified commit message to reflect these changes.
Changes in v2:
	- Dropped patch files for media drivers from patchset as it is
	  not meant for outreachy applicants.
	- Added full-stop aign to text in commit message.
	- Made code more readable by adding a line break.
	- Changed cases to use modulo (% 4096) over (& 0xfff).
Changes in v1
	- Patch for drivers/staging/media/av7110/sp8870.c and
	- drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_gmin_platform.c
	  is split into two different patches in the patchset for use by the different
	  driver maintainers.
	- Added subject title for each of the separated patches.
	- Patch 1: Removed unnecessary curly braces {} initially inserted.
	- Patch 2: Unnecessary {} was also removed for v1.
