The dereference to 'of_id' should be moved below the NULL test.

Arguable this is unnecessary as of_id can never be NULL unless
of_match_device return's NULL and since it matches against the same
table as the probe that should never happen.

Given that there is a test at the start already for the NULL pointers,
this does make sense however - I'm just not sure how it will ever
happen. You could just remove the test instead.

Either way, this does fix a 'potential' bug, so if everyone else is
happy:
