Dereferencing a pointer before NULL-checking it, is Yoda programming. :)
I'd just drop the test for !dev and assume that dev is always valid.

I suggest to change the int return value to void and return nothing.

Re-reading the actual implementation of this function, this location
might be too early. Further below there already is a test for
irq_enabled. Put a drm_WARN_ON around it and it should be fine. This way
the vblank handlers will be disabled and erroneous callers will see a
warning in the kernel's log.

Best regards
Thomas
