Subject: [PATCH] mei: Drop unnecessary NULL check after container_of
Date:   Mon, 10 May 2021 21:55:12 -0700
Message-Id: <20210511045512.2376580-1-linux@roeck-us.net>

The result of container_of() operations is never NULL unless the embedded
element is the first element of the data structure, which is not the case
here. The NULL check is therefore unnecessary and misleading. Remove it.

This change was made automatically with the following Coccinelle script.

@@
type t;
identifier v;
statement s;
@@

<+...
(
  t v = container_of(...);
|
  v = container_of(...);
)
  ...
  when != v
- if (\( !v \| v == NULL \) ) s
...+>
