Subject: tpm: st33zp24: remove redundant null check on chip
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f20b4f2245367e7471d844fb8685fd46f15c17db;p=linux.git

tpm: st33zp24: remove redundant null check on chip

Currently chip is being dereferenced by the call to dev_get_drvdata
before it is being null checked, however, chip can never be null, so
this check is misleading and redundant. Remove it.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1357806 ("Dereference before null check")
