Null pointer dereference in tool_write_cb?

Since 5385450afd61, the tool_write_cb() function contains the following code
(with boring parts snipped):
bool isatty = config->global->isatty;
/* ... */
if(!config)
return failure;
Something if off here: either config can be NULL, and then the first line would
deference such pointer; or config can never be NULL, and the null pointer check
is superfluous.
