I do think this is needed, or at least an explanation.  The commit
message in f178e96de7f0 doesn't mention anything about
video_is_primary_device() not allowing being passed a NULL device
(like it was possible with fb_is_primary_device()).

Otherwise callers of video_is_primary_device() would need to be
adjusted to check for device != NULL.

Thanks, Roger.
