so you suggest moving the check instead?
the original code flow was:
mtd = NULL;
if (!mtd->name)
return -EINVAL;
mtd = nand_to_mtd(&ebu_host->chip);
...

by saying that the code itself is valid you're asking me to update the
flow to the following:
mtd = nand_to_mtd(&ebu_host->chip);
if (!mtd->name)
return -EINVAL;


Best regards,
Martin
