Subject: [PATCH] drivers/video: Move dereference after NULL test

If the NULL test on fbi is needed, then the dereference should be after the
NULL test.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
