We have a check for card just after dereferencing it. So if it is NULL
we have already dereferenced it before its check. Lets dereference it
after checking card for NULL.

And you are changing the scope of the pdev variable.

yes, and since all usage of pdev is inside the "if" block so it should 
not matter.
