When spi_alloc_master() returns null pointer, it’s no need to use spi_master_put() to release the memory, although spi_master_put() function has null pointer checks.

This will never fail and if for some reason this fails an error message would already be printed anyway. Strings take space on the storage, increase boot time and RAM usage. -- Alexandre Belloni, co-owner and COO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
