All the above *priv* check can be remove as priv is already validated in
this function and all the above functions are called only from this
function.

I don't think you need to validate *priv* as it is already validated in
driver register (cpsw_register()). In any case priv is NULL, then there
is some corruption in dev structure as without priv, dev should not
exist and stack is not supposed to call any cpsw apis.
