video: fbdev-VIA: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call “framebuffer_release” 

Author: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

The framebuffer_release() 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.
