[Peter Huewe]

This patch fixes the warning generated by sparse: "Using plain integer
as NULL pointer" by replacing the offending 0s with NULL.

(line6 staging driver does currently _not_ build, but this is not caused by this patch.
Maybe I'll have a look at it.)

Sparse errors ;) - I'm still getting confused what the output of sparse and 
what the output of gcc is.
Sorry about that - code builds fine.
