It is not necessary. I thought it would be a good behavior of such
exported function. You're right that this shouldn't be NULL especially
because previously it was dereferenced.
Other existing power supply exported functions don't check this so maybe
I shouldn't introduce inconsistency.
I'll remove the check and re-spin. I'll found ugly typos in commit
message anyway.
Best regards,
Krzysztof
