The changelog is unclear what happens in the current code.  Does it use
a different incorrect pointer?  Does it NULL dereference?  I looked
briefly at the code (20 seconds) and it doesn't seem to use dev_err(),
it still uses pr_err().  So maybe this change is preparation for future
work?

What I'm saying is that these are questions the changelog should answer.

(Don't bother resending the patch, the changelog is good enough from a
newbie for staging but if you could just answer on the thread that's
ok).
