From 535237cecab2b078114be712c67e89a0db61965f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Crispin Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 01:16:15 +0100 Subject: MIPS: remove broken conditional inside vpe loader code The commit [1] breaks builds and results in the following error arch/mips/kernel/vpe.c: In function 'vpe_run': arch/mips/kernel/vpe.c:708:16: error: invalid type argument of '->' (have 'struct list_head') Taking a closer look at the conditional we notice that list_first_entry wont ever return NULL. The easiest fix is to just drop the dead code. [1] commit 3d2d03247632920aa21b42a0b032a4ffd44ce15e MIPS: vpe.c: Fix null pointer dereference in print arguments.
