Subject: [patch net-next v2 04/12] devlink: don't work with possible NULL pointer in devlink_param_unregister()

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...dia.com>

There is a WARN_ON checking the param_item for being NULL when the param
is not inserted in the list. That indicates a driver BUG. Instead of
continuing to work with NULL pointer with its consequences, return.
