Probing xen-fbfront faults in video_is_primary_device().  The passed-in
struct device is NULL since xen-fbfront doesn't assign it and the
memory is kzalloc()-ed.  Assign fb_info->device to avoid this.

This was exposed by the conversion of fb_is_primary_device() to
video_is_primary_device() which dropped a NULL check for struct device.

The other option would be to re-instate the NULL check in
video_is_primary_device()
I do think this is needed, or at least an explanation.  The commit
message in f178e96de7f0 doesn't mention anything about
video_is_primary_device() not allowing being passed a NULL device
(like it was possible with fb_is_primary_device()).

Otherwise callers of video_is_primary_device() would need to be
adjusted to check for device != NULL.

The helper expects a non-NULL pointer. We might want to document this.

Best regards
Thomas


Thanks, Roger.
