The parameter 'dev' of st_lsm6dsx_probe() isn't been
checked before used, including when st_lsm6dsx_probe() is called.
Therefore, it might be better to check, just in case.

Fixes: 290a6ce ("iio: imu: add support to lsm6dsx driver")

can this really happen? dev is a structure (not a pointer) in i2c_client or
spi_device.
