But my patch help to save a useless check(if (!dev))

on where we found the check is not necessary.

```

-	if (!dev) {
-		DRM_ERROR("cleanup called no dev\n");
-		return;
-	}

```

The DRM core lose nothing, just a function wrapper.

Instead, this is probably a good chance to migrate the burden to the 
driver side.

I think the device driver(drm/radeon, for example) have better understanding

about how to ensure that userspace can't access an inconsistent state 
than the DRM core.
