From 428c8d19167c4597adf4d164262c68befafde9bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trent Piepho Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 18:51:52 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB (10791): videodev: not possible to register NULL video_device video_register_device_index() checks if it was passed a NULL video_device pointer (which isn't allowed) _after_ it has already dereferenced it with video_get_drvdata(vdev). The checks are clearly pointless and can be removed, as the function would have crashed before reaching them if vdev ever was NULL.
