  yes, just like what you said. it is not a bug
    (it seems not necessary to set saved_state to NULL in sa1111_remove, either).

  I think, this patch can make the source code simpler and clearer.
  so I still suggest to apply it (although it seems a minor patch).

  it is my fault, just like what you said, I did not try to build.
  and I should try now.

  thanks.
