[PATCH] tty: amba-pl011: don't dereference NULL platform data

From: robin.murphy@arm.com (Robin Murphy)
Date: 2016-03-03 16:35:35
Also in: linux-serial
Subsystem: arm primecell uart pl010 and pl011 drivers, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

When only a TX DMA channel is specified in DT, pl011_dma_probe() falls
back to looking for the optional RX channel in platform data. What it
doesn't do is check whether that platform data actually exists...

Add the missing check to avoid crashing the kernel.
