Why must it check for NULL?

It should have been done differently, which is to print an error trace if the passed in arguments are NULL. Anyway, I will drop this since I expect this function to go away once this is adapted to the new framework. regards Suman > >> Signed-off-by: Fernando Guzman Lugo <lugo.fernando@gmail.com> >> Signed-off-by: Suman Anna <s-anna@ti.com> >> --- >> arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c | 3 ++- >> 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c b/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c >> index 42377ef..5fb4027 100644 >> --- a/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c >> +++ b/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c >> @@ -356,7 +356,8 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(omap_mbox_get); >> >> void omap_mbox_put(struct omap_mbox *mbox, struct notifier_block *nb) >> { >> - blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(&mbox->notifier, nb); >> + if (nb) >> + blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(&mbox->notifier, nb); >> omap_mbox_fini(mbox); >> } >> EXPORT_SYMBOL(omap_mbox_put); >> -- >> 1.8.2 >> >> -- >> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in >> the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >> More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
