gcc-7 produces a harmless false-postive warning about a possible NULL
pointer access:
drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: In function 'h_memstick_read_dev_id':
drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:309:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
memcpy(mrq->data, buf, mrq->data_len);
This can't happen because the caller sets the command to 'MS_TPC_READ_REG',
which causes the data direction to be 'READ' and the NULL pointer not
accessed.
As a simple workaround for the warning, we can pass a pointer to the
data that we actually want to read into. This is not needed here, but
also harmless, and lets the compiler know that the access is ok.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
