As ops obviously is not NULL here (you just used it on the line above),
why are you checking it again?
And what makes curser be NULL here? How can that happen?
Also your subject line can use some work, please make it reflect the
driver subsystem you are looking at.
thanks,

Yes, that's right. I will remove that check and will submit a new patch.
> And what makes curser be NULL here? How can that happen?
Honestly, I don't know. I reproduced the crash on my local, followed the
stack trace, and then changed the line to avoid the crash. If you think this
patch is not the best solution, I can drop it and investigate more to find
the root cause.

This was a mistake, I did not intend to change the subject. I will ensure
the next patch reflects the subsystem.

Finding the root cause would be good to do here, so that we can
potentially fix that if it is needed.
