Please, remove.
If you don't know, perhaps you need to spend more time on doing homework?

% git grep -n -w dev_set_drvdata -- drivers/base/dd.c
drivers/base/dd.c:469:          dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL);
drivers/base/dd.c:499:  dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL);
drivers/base/dd.c:902:          dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL);

Last one is the point of your interest.
