if vgic_its_get_abi is likely to return NULL, don't we need to check abi
!= NULL in all call sites.

abi_rev is actually set by vgic_its_set_abi() which is actually called
by vgic_mmio_uaccess_write_its_iidr() and vgic_its_create().

Only vgic_mmio_uaccess_write_its_iidr allows the userspace to overwrite
the default abi_rev. At this point a check against NR_ITS_ABIS is
already done. So to me the check is done at the source?

Thanks
