From b2111217df52827916141789c87d614ae45236db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:41:53 -0700 Subject: isapnp: remove pointless check of 'type' against 0 in isapnp_read_tag() In drivers/pnp/isapnp/core.c::isapnp_read_tag() there is a test of 'type' being == 0 a bit down in the function. That test doesn't make any sense. If 'type' could indeed be NULL, then the test happens way too late as we'd already have tried to dereference the pointer earlier and looking at the callers it also turns out that there is no way type can ever actually be NULL. So the test is completely pointless and should just be removed.
