If you are convinced that dropping the null tests is a good idea, then you can submit the patch that makes the change to the relevant maintainers and mailing lists.
Would you like to integrate the following proposal into your source code repository?
Regards, Markus

From: Markus Elfring elfring@users.sourceforge.net Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:28:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] GPU-DRM-GMA500: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls
A semantic patch approach was proposed with the subject "[PATCH with Coccinelle?] Deletion of unnecessary checks before specific function calls" on 2014-03-05. https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/5/344 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.coccinelle/3513/
This patch pattern application was repeated with the help of the software "Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc22" on the source files for Linux 3.17.1. An extract of the automatically generated update suggestions is shown here.
It was determined that the affected source code places call functions which perform input parameter validation already. It is therefore not needed that a similar safety check is repeated at the call site.
