I don't know, I just checked the latest Linus tree. And, looking at the HD-audio code, I still wonder how NULL dev->driver can reach there. Is there any PCI device that is added to component without binding to a driver? We have dev_is_pci() check at the beginning, so non-PCI devices should bail out there... I'm not against adding NULL checks, but just for better understanding the situation. Takashi
