"vdev" points to vhci_hcd->vdev[] array and vhci_hcd->vdev[] array is not a pointer array but a structure array and it is already used in vhci_urb_enqueue() and then passed to vhci_tx_urb() as an argument. vhci_tx_urb() is not called except vhci_urb_enqueue(). So, "vdev" can not be null pointer. This null check statement is meaningless.
