Subject: [PATCH 57/93] HID: picolcd: Prevent NULL pointer dereference on _remove()

3.8.13.10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Bruno=20Pr=C3=A9mont?= <bonbons@...ux-vserver.org>

commit 1cde501bb4655e98fb832194beb88ac73be5a05d upstream.

When picolcd is switched into bootloader mode (for FW flashing) make
sure not to try to dereference NULL-pointers of feature-devices during
unplug/unbind.

This fixes following BUG:
