This fixes a NULL pointer dereference that can happen if the UDL driver is unloaded before the framebuffer is initialized. This can happen e.g. if the USB device is unplugged right after it was plugged in. As explained by Stéphane Marchesin: It happens when fbdev is disabled (which is the case for Chrome OS). Even though intialization of the fbdev part is optional (it's done in udlfb_create which is the callback for fb_probe()), the teardown isn't optional (udl_driver_unload -> udl_fbdev_cleanup -> udl_fbdev_destroy). Note that udl_fbdev_cleanup *tries* to be conditional (you can see it does if (!udl->fbdev)) but that doesn't work, because udl->fbdev is always set during udl_fbdev_init.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
