Did you find a scenario where eptdev->rpdev would not be valid when this is
called?  To me if this code is called __rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_create() has setup
the rpdev pointer and therefore it will be valid.

If there is a scenario where it is possible that eptdev->rpdev is invalid then
please add a comment with the details.  Otherwise simply remove the first part
of the condition.
