[PATCH 1/2] [media] mn88473: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "release_firmware"

From: SF Markus Elfring

The release_firmware() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
