The check is not redundant and does serve a purpose.
The purpose is not very obvious on the surface, but it is checking that
the function fn() is of the proper type.
An example of a compiler warning with a bad function type is created
by applying the following patch:
drivers/of/unittest.c:62:1: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types
lacks a cast [enabled by default]
Note that you need to have CONFIG_UNITTEST enabled to compile unittest.c.
Line 62 is
