I think coverity is wrong. How is dev ever going to be NULL in this
case? We allocate all of these struct tegra_thermctl_zone structures in
tegra_soctherm_probe() and assign zone->dev = &pdev->dev, which can
never be NULL.
And even if it could, the code would've crashed earlier in
tegra_soctherm_probe() already.
Furthermore, I fail to see how your patch would fix the defect. None of
the checks in the conditional above actually check the dev value.
