[PATCH] mfd: fix unintentional NULL check in menelaus_set_voltage()
From: Emil Goode
Date: Wed May 28 2014 - 09:33:40 EST
The struct menelaus_vtg pointer vtg cannot be NULL here
so the condition is never true and if it ever was true
it would lead to a NULL pointer dereference when we goto
label set_voltage.
Before the below patch was applied the code was:
if (vtg == 0)
The intention was to check if vtg_val is 0.

Hello,
This is only build tested, it would be good to get a comment
from someone who is familiar with this code.
Found using coccinelle.
Best regards,
Emil Goode
