While unflattening the device tree, we try to populate dt nodes and
properties into tree-shaped data structure.
In populate_properties function, pprev is initially set to
&np->properties, and then updated to &pp->next.
In both scenarios *pprev is NULL, since the memory area that we are
allocating from is initially zeroed.
I tested the code as below, and it showed that BUG was never called.
- if (!dryrun)
+ if (!dryrun) {
+ if (*pprev)
+ BUG();
*pprev = NULL;
+ }
Let's remove unnecessary code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
