Research direction
Start by reviewing the referenced checks in libretro-common/libco/ucontext.c, disk_index_file.c, and gfx/drivers/sunxi_gfx.c. Confirm each check is unnecessary in its surrounding function, remove only the identified checks, and run the relevant RetroArch build or test checks to verify the three areas still compile and behave correctly.
