    Subject[PATCH] staging: gdm72xx: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree"
    From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
    Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2015 18:28:33 +0100

    The kfree() 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.
