[PATCH v3] video-lp8788: Delete a check before backlight_device_unregister()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>

Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: backlight class/subsystem, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Lee Jones, Daniel Thompson, Jingoo Han, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

The backlight_device_unregister() 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.
