And based on another patch I was looking at checkpatch agrees :)
It also suggests as a check that this could be written !adapter rather than NULL == adapter

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!adapter"
#27: FILE: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c:8276:
+ if (adapter == NULL) {
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 1 checks, 16 lines checked
Your patch has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
