While it's debatable whether or not a NULL device argument to the
DMA API functions is valid... since it certainly isn't valid on devices
with an IOMMU... dma-debug really shouldn't be dereferencing null
pointers either.
Guard against that in err_printk and the driver_filter functions. A
Fedora rawhide user was seeing this in one of the dvb drivers resulting
in an oops on boot.

A patch has been sent for testing to the driver, but I feel the
dma debugging support should be fixed as well. (There's still a pile of
legacy garbage in the kernel passing null pointers to
dma_{alloc,free}_*. :(
regards, Kyle
