This is partially correct, the check for brd being NULL is in line 371.
But there is a second check for brd->magic != DGNC_BOARD_MAGIC. Do you want
to keep that one?
Also, how did you find this patch. It is useful to mention this in the commit
message if it was through some static analysis tool. For people using these tools
in the future.
Thanks for the patch :)
