Based on the following report from Smatch tool, make sure we have a
valid drvdata before we dereference it to find the real dev.
The patch 21d26b905c05: "coresight: etm: Clean up device specific
data" from May 22, 2019, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
./drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm3x.c:460 etm_get_trace_id()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'drvdata' (see line 458)
./drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm3x.c
457 int trace_id = -1;
458 struct device *etm_dev = drvdata->csdev->dev.parent;
^^^^^^^^^
New dereference
459
460 if (!drvdata)
^^^^^^^^
Checked too late. Delete the check?
461 goto out;

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
