[PATCH v2] backlight: lp8788: Deletion of a check before backlight_device_unregister()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2014-11-24 18:05:48
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-fbdev
Subsystem: backlight class/subsystem, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Lee Jones, Daniel Thompson, Jingoo Han, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>

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.
