While creating the debugfs file we are setting the inode->i_private to
dev. That same dev is passed to these functions as private of struct
seq_file via single_open(). So at this point it can never be NULL.

v1 was drm/i915: fix possible null pointer dereference

There's still one left in i915_displayport_test_active_write. Also please
mention the commit that introduced these and Cc: the author. Also please
Cc: Chris since he's commented on v1 of this patch.

Thanks, Daniel

I left it out intentionally as it was not used via single_open(). Will
include that and send v3.

Well I didn't even read that far ;-) But ->write can only be called once
you opened the file, which means it will be set up already correctly too.
