Subject: [patch] driver-core: dev_to_node() should handle NULL pointers

What prompted this patch is that in dma_pool_create() we call
dev_to_node() before checking whether "dev" is NULL.  It looks like
there are places which call dma_pool_create() with a NULL pointer.  An
example is in drivers/usb/gadget/amd5536udc.c.
