Got it. The pr_() in find_bridge() can't be converted to dev_ so I'll remove the message entirely in another patch. I understand that the device-NULL checks should be done on the caller's side. Since empty devices would mean something went wrong, would it be better to put in an assertion(..WARN_ON) when removing the check? > > Also, there are portions of the driver where we have no access to > > any 'struct device' to feed into dev_. > > Then you can fix that :) Will do this.
