Subject: coccinelle: adjust NULL check before free()
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/%22/img/sics.gif/%22/static/git-favicon.png?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c11f0d88ba462976335a4990a30a99d1d0b49195;p=u-boot.git

coccinelle: adjust NULL check before free()

The free() function checks if its argument is NULL. We should avoid
checking for NULL before calling free like in

    if (result->tds)
        free(result->tds);

The list of relevant functions differs between Linux and U-Boot, e.g. we
use free().

Adjust the list of relevant functions.
