Actually, I added:
dev_info(dev, "%s: driver=%s\n", __func__, dev->driver->name);
before the if (!dev || !dev->driver) check while doing the tests to
verify my thoughts, so your new patch should also be fine on those
test systems, and my tested-by should still qualify.

It's national holiday here (6/10-6/12), but if you want to be sure, I
can do the tests on 6/13 when getting back to work.

Thanks,
Aaron
