One suggestion which just came to my mind:
get_mst_branch_device_by_guid_helper() is a recursive function.
This condition might be moved to the inside of that function as the first line.
This way we would have a single condition, meaning remove a similar
one for step over of NULL elements inside a recursive call so NULL
would be an acceptable value as param and therefore no need to check
for this here.
