Subject: net: atm: remove redundant null pointer check on dev->name
X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~1128^2~83
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d135e4f263af7da3c2fbe5f99b377cf483b6adf;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git

net: atm: remove redundant null pointer check on dev->name

dev->name is a char array of IFNAMSIZ elements, hence can never be
null, so the null pointer check is redundant. Remove it.
