Can you explain the purpose of this change please?

I guess it's because the sysctrl_dev is already initialised when
registering the power_off handler, so there isn't a way to call the
above function with a NULL sysctrl_dev. Probably even with the original
code you didn't need this check (after some race fix in
ab8500_sysctrl_remove but races is one of the things Guenter's patches
try to address).

Sounds reasonable, although I think this change should be part of
another patch.
