Because it cannot be NULL unless something really, really, really bad 
happened. bat_priv will only be set when the gateway gets created using 
batadv_bla_get_backbone_gw(). It never gets unset during the lifetime on the 
backbone gateway.

Maybe Simon has more to say about that.

Can you reproduce it with it? If you can, did you try to perform a bisect 
using the reproducer?

Kind regards,
