While the driver is probing the adapter, an error may occur before the
netdev structure is allocated and attached to pci_dev. In this case,
not only netdev isn't available, but the tg3 private structure is also
not available as it is just math from the NULL pointer, so dereferences
must be skipped.
The following trace is seen when the error is triggered:

This patch avoids the NULL pointer dereference by moving the access after
the netdev NULL pointer check on tg3_io_error_detected().

Looks good. Do we need to add !netdev check in tg3_io_resume()?
Thanks Michael. It's a good point - I didn't trigger any error without
the check, but looking at error handlers, every one seems to have this
check except tg3_io_resume().
Do you want us to send a v2 including this check? Or maybe another patch?
Cheers,
Guilherme
