NULL check is performed after params->dev is dereferenced in
dev_get_stats.
Fixed by adding a NULL check before dereferencing params->dev and
removing subsequent NULL checks for it.

Hm, isn't this checked at the start of rndis_query_response(), this function's
only caller?

As Sergey points out, this check is useless and the ones below should
also be removed.
But, why make this check at all, how did you trigger a problem with the
current code?
Are you using this driver? If so, why? It is totally broken (as per
the specification) and we really really need to just delete it from the
tree to prevent anyone else from ever using it.

Thanks for review, please ignore this patch.
Issue was triggered by our internal tool (probably not smart enough,
and cause false alarm).

Ah, so that means I HAVE to reject it as you did not properly follow the
requirements when you use tools like this. Please read
Documentation/process/researcher-guidelines.rst for how to do this
properly.
That is now a requirement to make it so that we are not the ones doing
the debugging of random tools like we just had to do here...
You owe me 3 patch reviews now :)
thanks,

Would you accept this patch modulo the above check then? If not,
I'll just resolve the corresponding SVACE checker as "won't fix" here. :-)

There's no problem, just the redundant NULL checks...
