From: Julia Lawall <ju...@diku.dk> list_for_each_entry binds its first argument to a non-null value, and thus any null test on the value of that argument is superfluous.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ iterator I; expression x,E; @@ I(x,...) { <... ( - (x == NULL) || E | - (x != NULL) && E ) ...> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia at diku.dk> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c index 07da3ae..d81874d 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c @@ -746,7 +746,7 @@ bool intel_pipe_has_type (struct drm_crtc *crtc, int type) struct drm_encoder *l_entry; list_for_each_entry(l_entry, &mode_config->encoder_list, head) { - if (l_entry && l_entry->crtc == crtc) { + if (l_entry->crtc == crtc) { struct intel_encoder *intel_encoder = enc_to_intel_encoder(l_entry); if (intel_encoder->type == type) return true; @@ -3343,7 +3343,7 @@ static int intel_crtc_mode_set(struct drm_crtc *crtc, list_for_each_entry(encoder, &mode_config->encoder_list, head) { - if (!encoder || encoder->crtc != crtc) + if (encoder->crtc != crtc) continue; intel_encoder = enc_to_intel_encoder(encoder);
