Subject: [PATCH] rsi: fix potential null dereference in rsi_probe()

The id pointer can be NULL in rsi_probe(). It is checked everywhere except
for the else branch in the idProduct condition. The patch adds NULL check
before the id dereference in the rsi_dbg() call.

While the existing code in rsi_probe() may lead you to believe that,
this statement is false.

I just sent a revert to prevent the confusion from spreading (e.g. to
stable autosel and contributers looking for things to work on). Hope you
don't mind, Kalle.
