Do not call dev_warn with a NULL device, this silence the following 2

We could switch to using pr_warn for dev == NULL instead, but as comments
in the source indicate, the check for these 2 special gmin variables with
a NULL device is a workaround for 2 specific evaluation boards, so
completely silencing the missing warning for these actually is a good
thing.
At which point real missing variables won't get reported so NAK. I think
the right fix is to make the offending callers pass
subdev->dev
The code for the special v1p8 / v2p8 gpios is ugly as sin, it operates on
a global v2p8_gpio value rather then storing info in the gmin_subdev struct,
as such passing the subdev->dev pointer would be simply wrong. AFAICT the
v1p8 / v2p8 gpio code is the only caller passing in a NULL pointer and
as said since thisv1p8 / v2p8 gpio code is only for some special evaluation
boards, silencing the error when these variables are not present actually
is the right thing to do.
which if my understanding of the subdevices is correct should pass the
right valid device field from the atomisp.
Please also cc me if you are proposing patches this driver - and also
linux-media.
Sorry about that, I messed up my git send-email foo and send this to
a wrong set of addresses (and also added v5 in the subject which should
not be there) I did send out a fresh-copy with the full 7 patch patch-set
directly after CTRL+c-ing this wrong send-email (which only got the
first 3 patches send).
Regards,
Hans
