If you make it use a trivial inline function for the thing, I think that 
would be ok, though.

Like this?

Yes. Except that if hwif is NULL, we'll have other oopses since we access 
that in other places.

Why _is_ hwif NULL anyway? That's another, unrelated thing, and should 
probably have a separate check and an early return.

So there's two unrelated issues: hwif being NULL is a serious error
regardless of any node issues, and pci_dev being NULL just means we aren't
a PCI device.

Bartlomiej?
