NACK. Daniel, This code is part of the in-kernel API for anycast, which is intended to be the same as for multicast. By removing support for NULL there, you're making a special case for the anycast code that isn't there in the multicast code (can't support a NULL dev), and you really aren't buying all that much for it.
