From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If AHD_DEBUG is enabled and ahd_platform_alloc fails then ahd is set to null and the debug printk dereferences ahd when passing it to ahd_name. Fix this by moving the debug printk to before the call to ahd_platform_alloc where ahd is not null at that point.
