yam_open checks if dev is null, however, before that check it
accesses some of the fields from dev in a proceeding printk which
will cause a null pointer dereference error if dev is nul. Move
the printk to after the null check.

This function will never be called with dev == NULL.

Then let's remove at least that part of the check.
