The dereference should be moved below the NULL test.

Actually this test does not make any sense and we should rather remove it.

Agreed on removing it. For cases "cd" can be NULL/invalid, watchdog
already stopped:
1- in probe(), when timer set, cd allocated and NULL check done.
2- in probe(), in error path after timer set, watchdog stopped before
"cd" freed
3- in cyttsp4_remove(), watchdog stopped before "cd" freed
