The e-mail at the start of this e-mail thread shows that %esi == NULL at
the time of the crash and also that the crash occurred at offset 79 (0x4f)
in this function. I think that means that the crash occurred in the following
code: pm_request_autosuspend(q->dev) and also that this means that q->dev ==
NULL. Can you test the (untested) patch below?
