Drivers that do not use the get_btc_status() callback may not define a
dummy routine. The caller needs to check before making the call.

John,

This missing statement is causing kernel crashes for several of the drivers.
This patch should be applied ASAP.

Hi, Larry.

I've applied this patch on top of next-20141023 and my system still crashes (perhaps at a point after .get_btc_status is called).

I'm not sure how to capture the panic message in text plain so I took a photo of it: http://opsfelder.com/~murilo/lkml/next-20141023_plus_larry_patch.jpg
