Thank you for reporting this. I also think these questions you listed
should be answered before putting the null check in resume routine. I
will dig deeper and share my finding on the thread.

[PATCH] brcmfmac: Fix kernel oops on resume when request firmware fails.

[Enric Balletbo i Serra]

When request firmware fails, brcmf_ops_sdio_remove is being called and
brcmf_bus freed. In such circumstancies if you do a suspend/resume cycle
the kernel hangs on resume due a NULL pointer dereference in resume
function.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
 - modprobe brcmfmac without the firmware
 brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4354-sdio.bin
 failed with error -2
 - do a suspend/resume cycle (echo mem > /sys/power/state)

Protect against the NULL pointer derefence by checking if dev_get_drvdata
returned a valid pointer.

I'm not sure about if this is the correct way to fix this but at least it
prevents the kernel to hang. From one side I'm not sure why suspend/resume
functions are called in such case and why the device is not removed from
the bus, from the other side I saw, that others drivers only unregisters
from sdio when the driver is removed so I supose this is the normal behavior.

Cheers,
 Enric
