Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/7] bnxt_en: Remove a redundant NULL check in bnxt_register_dev()

From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil@...adcom.com>

The memory for "edev->ulp_tbl" is allocated inside the
bnxt_rdma_aux_device_init() function. If it fails, the driver
will not create the auxiliary device for RoCE. Hence the NULL
check inside bnxt_register_dev() is unnecessary.
