The pointer ndev is being dereferenced before it is being null checked,
hence there is a potential null pointer deference. Fix this by only
dereferencing ndev after it has been null checked

Maya, as you are the wil6210 maintainer you can actually use Acked-by
instead of Reviewed-by. Not that it really matters which one you use,
both of them indicate me that you have checked and agree the patch, but
wanted to point out this anyway :)
