How about this? [PATCH] scsi: qedf: Remove dead code If container_of() is used correctly, its result is never NULL. Remove the code that depends on container_of() returning a NULL pointer.

qedf is checked to be null in this if branch, accessing its member will cause a null pointer dereference. As suggested by Bart, fix it by deleting the logic since qedf cannot be NULL in this function.
