Did you look at the patch header? For that particular case, the static
analysis tool complains that the value returned by get_device() is most
likely should be checked just because it is checked on a lot of other
code paths. Usually it may be a good precaution to handle the very rare
and unexpected errors; again, if you're sure that this is not the case,
just disregard it.
