From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Pointer dev is being dereferenced when passed to the inlined functon dev_name, however, dev is later being null checked. Thus there is a potential null pointer dereference on a null dev. Fix this by performing the null check on dev before dereferencing it.
