SubjectRe: [alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: Intel: fix ifnullfree.cocci warnings
The NULL check here is to proivde the protection for current code and
future potential code. It's possible that in future some code may
change the pointer ipc->msg and the author may miss the kfree here.

But anyway I'm ok if removing null check is the coding philosophy we
need to follow.

Thanks
