The remove callback is only ever called after .probe() returned successfully. After that get_stmmac_bsp_priv() always return non-NULL. Side note: The early exit would also be a bug because the return value of qcom_ethqos_remove() is ignored by the device core and the device is unbound unconditionally. So exiting early resulted in a dangerous resource leak as all devm allocated resources (some memory and the register mappings) are freed but the network device stays around. Using the network device afterwards probably oopses.
