How would it return NULL?

Or to put it another way, if a device has somehow vanished without 
unbinding its driver or unregistering the iommu_ops through which this 
is called, then the kernel state is clearly so broken that crashing is 
probably the safest thing to do. Furthermore if we couldn't assume we 
have the right device here then we also couldn't assume that its drvdata 
points to the right thing either, so we'd be rather stuck.

Thanks,
Robin.
