Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: Xilinx: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two
 function calls

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:47:12 +0100

The functions kfree() and of_node_put() test whether their argument is NULL
and then return immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
