patch 'ethdev: remove unnecessary null check' has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/26/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/6fdd1953b012a425dff6dffdc6e48db3b9bd4fac

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: remove unnecessary null check

[ upstream commit 8b8dd4451da45ce0419521d7e29fe246a5278251 ]

This NULL check is unnecessary, 'eth_dev' is never NULL.

Fixes: 58b43c1ddfd1 ("ethdev: add telemetry endpoint for device info")
