The probe() id argument may be NULL in 2 scenarios:

1. brcmf_pcie_pm_leave_D3() calling brcmf_pcie_probe() to reprobe
    the device.

2. If a user tries to manually bind the driver from sysfs then the sdio /
    pcie / usb probe() function gets called with NULL as id argument.

1. Is being hit by users causing the following oops on resume and causing
wifi to stop working:

Fix this by checking for id being NULL.

In the case of brcmf_pcie_probe() also add a manual lookup of the id
when it is NULL so that fwvid will still get set correctly on reprobe
on resume.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for looking into this and coming up with a fix. Does it make sense to proceed with BRCMF_FWVENDOR_INVALID though. I think it will end up in probe failure in brcmf_fwvid_attach() because of it so why not bail out right away.

Regards,
Arend
