By that way we could > avoid future errors. We can, but it makes no sense for this function to be called with a NULL pointer for req, if you do, then it is a driver bug. I.e, we don't test if inst is NULL either. I thought about it, but decided that it would just add unnecessary overhead in this specific case. If you still want this, then I can post a v3.
