The problem of the NULL checks is that it's too tempting to perform a
NULL check after to_dpu_hw_ctl conversion. However it's not safe to
pass NULL pointer to such functions: there is no guarantee that
conversion will return NULL if it gets passed the NULL pointer.

Yeah, why not.

Generally, I think we should stop storing the state-related data in
the non-state structures. Hopefully I'll have time for that at some
point later on.

It doesn't, as you have the comparison.
