Currently pointer priv is dereferencing dev before dev is being null
checked so a potential null pointer dereference can occur. Fix this
by only assigning and using priv if dev is not-null.

This is the remove function and "dev" can't be NULL at this point.
Better to just remove the NULL check.

Will do.
