Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/9] can: ems_usb: ems_usb_disconnect(): fix NULL

Please stop making hand-wavy claims like this. There is no risk for a
NULL-pointer deference here, and if you think otherwise you need to
explain how that can happen in detail for each driver.

The claim in this commit is not correct either.

The interface data pointer is only used in this function so there is no
risk for any NULL pointer dereference here. I only checked one of the
other drivers you patch, but I'm pretty sure all of your claims about
fixing NULL-pointer dereferences in this series are equally bogus.
