staging: ath6kl: Fixing a NULL pointer exception
The driver was dereferencing a NULL pointer because of the device instance
being registered via the set_wiphy_dev() function. The function
ar6000_avail_ev() was passing the argument as NULL instead of using the one
returned by the MMC stack through the probe callback.
