hostap_cs_{resume,suspend}(): inconsequent NULL checking

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>]

The Coverity checker spotted the following in 
drivers/net/wireless/hostap/hostap_cs.c:

<--  snip  -->

...
static int hostap_cs_suspend(struct pcmcia_device *link)
{
        struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *) link->priv;
        int dev_open = 0;
        struct hostap_interface *iface = NULL;

        if (dev)
                iface = netdev_priv(dev);

        PDEBUG(DEBUG_EXTRA, "%s: CS_EVENT_PM_SUSPEND\n", dev_info);
        if (iface && iface->local)
                dev_open = iface->local->num_dev_open > 0;
        if (dev_open) {
                netif_stop_queue(dev);
                netif_device_detach(dev);
        }
        prism2_suspend(dev);

        return 0;
}

static int hostap_cs_resume(struct pcmcia_device *link)
{
        struct net_device *dev = (struct net_device *) link->priv;
        int dev_open = 0;
        struct hostap_interface *iface = NULL;

        if (dev)
                iface = netdev_priv(dev);

        PDEBUG(DEBUG_EXTRA, "%s: CS_EVENT_PM_RESUME\n", dev_info);

        if (iface && iface->local)
                dev_open = iface->local->num_dev_open > 0;

        prism2_hw_shutdown(dev, 1);
        prism2_hw_config(dev, dev_open ? 0 : 1);
        if (dev_open) {
                netif_device_attach(dev);
                netif_start_queue(dev);
        }

        return 0;
}
...

<--  snip  -->

The problem is that if the "if (dev)" is false, there's a guaranteed 
NULL dereference later in the "prism2_suspend(dev)" resp.
"prism2_hw_config(dev, dev_open ? 0 : 1)".
