[PATCH 2/2] Staging: Media: Lirc - Improvement in code readability

From: Shailendra Verma
Date: Thu Nov 10 2016 - 04:55:20 EST


From: "Shailendra Verma" <shailendra.v@xxxxxxxxxxx>

There is no need to call kfree() if memdup_user() fails, as no memory
was allocated and the error in the error-valued pointer should be returned.
