There is no need to check if !cmd as this can only happen for ATA internal commands which uses the ATA internal tag (32). Most users of ata_scsi_set_sense() are from _xlat functions that translate a scsicmd to an ATA command. These obviously have a qc->scsicmd. ata_scsi_qc_complete() can also call ata_scsi_set_sense() via ata_gen_passthru_sense() / ata_gen_ata_sense(), called via ata_scsi_qc_complete(). This callback is only called for translated commands, so it also has a qc->scsicmd. ata_eh_analyze_ncq_error(): the NCQ error log can only contain a 0-31 value, so it will never be able to get the ATA internal tag (32). ata_eh_request_sense(): only called by ata_eh_analyze_tf(), which is only called when iteratating the QCs using ata_qc_for_each_raw(), which does not include the internal tag. Since there is no existing call site where cmd can be NULL, remove the !cmd check from ata_scsi_set_sense() and ata_scsi_set_sense_information().
