The call netdev_{put, hold} of dev_{put, hold} will check NULL,
so there is no need to check before using dev_{put, hold}.

Fix the following coccicheck warning:
/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lag/lag.c:1450:2-10:
WARNING:
WARNING  NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed.

Please change all places in mlx5 in one patch.

You can find these with the following command
 git grep -B 1 -E "dev_put|dev_hold" drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/

Thanks

Your call as a mlx5 maintainer, but I'd say don't change them at all.
All these trivial patches are such a damn waste of time.

I'm fine with one patch per-driver, I'm not fine with one patch per-line :).

IMHO, it is valuable changes for actively developed code.

Thanks

I agree, let's not waste more time on this, I will accept this patch as is
