Subject: mwifiex: remove unneeded NULL check
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49753128d8fc976576c497c81962cf1ae57174aa;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

mwifiex: remove unneeded NULL check

We dereference "rate" on the lines before so the checks here are too
late to help.  This function is only called from
mwifiex_dump_station_info() and "rate" is always a non-NULL pointer
so the check can be removed.
