[PATCH 1/8] i2c: Add pointer dereference protection to i2c_match_id()

From: Lee Jones
Date: Thu Aug 28 2014 - 10:35:59 EST


Here we're providing dereference protection for i2c_match_id(), which
saves us having to do it each time it's called. We're also stripping
out the (now) needless checks in i2c_device_match(). This patch paves
the way for other, similar code trimming.
