[added to the 4.1 stable tree] coresight: checking for NULL string in coresight_name_match()

From: Sasha Levin <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-10 15:12:48
Subsystem: arm/coresight framework and drivers, hardware tracing facilities, the rest · Maintainers: Suzuki K Poulose, Alexander Shishkin, Linus Torvalds

From: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit fadf3a44e974b030e7145218ad1ab25e3ef91738 ]

Connection child names associated to ports can sometimes be NULL,
which is the case when booting a system on QEMU or when the Coresight
power domain isn't switched on.

This patch is adding a check to make sure a NULL string isn't fed
to strcmp(), something that avoid crashing the system.
