Currently it can't be:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-of-aspeed.c?h=v6.16-rc2#n375

Are there future circumstances where it may be NULL?

I'm all for reducing the reasoning from global to local, but I think
some discussion in the commit message would be good.

Given this shouldn't be the case, perhaps precede it with a
WARN_ONCE(!sdhci->pdata)?
