bugfix: don't check for physicalConfigDedicated at the wrong places

physicalConfigDedicated may be legitimately NULL at some places
with the current code.

A cleaner solution is needed (we should always have a dedicated
config, initialized with values from the 3GPP specs, not have
a NULL as we do now).
