The first parameter passed to chnl_recv_cb() can never be NULL since all callers dereferenced it. Consequently, container_of() on it is also never NULL, even though the reference into the structure points to the first element of the structure. The NULL check is therefore unnecessary. On top of that, it is misleading to perform a NULL check on the result of container_of() because the position of the contained element could change, which would make the test invalid. Remove the unnecessary NULL check. This change was made automatically with the following Coccinelle script. @@ type t; identifier v; statement s; @@ <+...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
