The error message printed when dsim is NULL references its member.
This will cause NULL pointer derefernce error. Hence change dev_err
to pr_err to avoid it.

Please, just remove above exception codes. dsim was allocated and already
checked by probe so this exception isn't needed.

Thanks,

Yes, that looks better if it is already ensured to be non-NULL. I had
not checked that.
Will remove this check and re-send.

Thanks.
