[PATCH 2/2] ath6kl: Remove bogus non-NULL pointer check

From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <hidden>
Date: 2012-02-14 15:03:17
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, atheros ath6kl wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Linus Torvalds

In ath6kl_cfg80211_add_key(), params is checked for non-NULL
but this pointer has been deferenced many times before this check. This
gives the following smatch warning. add_key() can never carry NULL as
params, remove this bogus check.

ath6kl_cfg80211_add_key(86) warn: variable dereferenced before check 'params'
