NULL is not a struct, so the syntax is incorrect.
Note that this isn't about a dev pointer whose value is NULL, the first argument is NULL directly. So "NULL" is directly substituted as is. If it was a dev pointer, then the definition of struct allowed for no error, but here gcc will generate the following error:
error: request for member ‘dev’ in something not a structure or union
Hence, there is a need to fix them.
Thanks, Siddh
