Subject: [PATCH v2] media: cx18, ivtv: eliminate unnecessary array index checks
Date: Sun,  6 Jan 2013 20:52:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357523523-39707-1-git-send-email-nickolai@csail.mit.edu> (raw)

The idx values passed to cx18_i2c_register() and ivtv_i2c_register()
by cx18_init_subdevs() and ivtv_load_and_init_modules() respectively
are always in-range, based on how the hw_all bitmask is populated.
Previously, the checks were already ineffective because arrays were
being dereferenced using the index before the check.

Signed-off-by: Nickolai Zeldovich <nickolai@csail.mit.edu>

Thanks to Andy Walls for suggesting that instead of moving the checks
before array dereference, a better fix is to remove the checks altogether,
since they are superfluous.
