We already dereferenced uaddr towards the start of the function when we checked that "uaddr->sa_family != AF_CAIF". Both the check here and the earlier check were added in bece7b2398d0: "caif: Rewritten socket implementation". Before that patch, we assumed that we recieved a valid pointer for uaddr, and based on that, I have removed this check.
