pci_get_device may fail and return NULL. This eventually will be
dereferenced in __pci_register_driver. So null check is necessary.

I'm sorry to say this but the patch is incorrect and should not be
applied.
ALI M1533 ISA bridge presence is optional (the driver can work also
with other ISA bridges) and ali_isa_bridge is always correctly checked
for NULL before being dereferenced in the driver.
