[PATCH] arch: powerpc: kernel: fadump.c: Cleaning up inconsistent NULL checks

From: Rickard Strandqvist
Date: Thu May 22 2014 - 18:02:30 EST


Cleaning up inconsistent NULL checks.
There is otherwise a risk of a possible null pointer dereference.

Was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.
