Subject: [PATCH] irda: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call
 "irlmp_unregister_service"

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 18:18:37 +0100

The irlmp_unregister_service() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
