This generates a bunch of warnings:

net/nfc/nci/core.c:381:51: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
net/nfc/nci/core.c:388:50: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
net/nfc/nci/core.c:494:57: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
net/nfc/nci/core.c:520:65: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
net/nfc/nci/core.c:570:44: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
net/nfc/nci/core.c:815:34: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
net/nfc/nci/core.c:856:50: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

BTW applying this set will resolve the warnings introduced by applying
"part 2" out of order, right? No further action needed?
