Dan Carpenter 41c56aa94c Bluetooth: msft: __hci_cmd_sync() doesn't return NULL ... The __hci_cmd_sync() function doesn't return NULL. Checking for NULL doesn't make the code safer, it just confuses people. When a function returns both error pointers and NULL then generally the NULL is a kind of success case. For example, maybe we look up an item then errors mean we ran out of memory but NULL means the item is not found. Or if we request a feature, then error pointers mean that there was an error but NULL means that the feature has been deliberately turned off. In this code it's different. The NULL is handled as if there is a bug in __hci_cmd_sync() where it accidentally returns NULL instead of a proper error code. This was done consistently until commit 9e14606d8f ("Bluetooth: msft: Extended monitor tracking by address filter") which deleted the work around for the potential future bug and treated NULL as success. Predicting potential future bugs is complicated, but we should just fix them instead of working around them. Instead of debating whether NULL is failure or success, let's just say it's currently impossible and delete the dead code.
