Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: Removes unnecessary args check in nouveau_uvmm_sm_prepare
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2023 02:22:00 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <GV1PR10MB65637F4BAABFE2D8E261E1DCE8B0A@GV1PR10MB6563.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

Checking `args` after calling `op_map_prepare` is unnecessary since
if `op_map_prepare` was to be called with  NULL args, it would lead
to a NULL pointer dereference, thus never hitting that check.

Hence this check can be removed, and a note added to remind users of
this function to ensure that args != NULL when calling this function
for a map operation as it was suggested  by Danilo [1]
