[PATCH] tpm: st33zp24: remove redundant null check on chip

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently chip is being dereferenced by the call to dev_get_drvdata
before it is being null checked, however, chip can never be null, so
this check is misleading and redundant. Remove it.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1357806 ("Dereference before null check")

V2: don't check for null, just remove redundant null check,
    thanks to Jason Gunthorpe for spotting that.
