From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> acpi_pcc_hotkey_remove sanity checks to see if device is null, however, this check is performed after we have already passed device into a call to acpi_driver_data. If device is null, then acpi_driver_data will produce a null pointer dereference on device. The correct action is to sanity check device, then assign pcc, then check if pcc is null.
