Subject: nfc: fdp: fix NULL pointer dereference

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com>

commit b6355fb3f5f40bbce165847d277e64896cab8f95 upstream.

We are checking phy after dereferencing it. We can print the debug
information after checking it. If phy is NULL then we will get a good
stack trace to tell us that we are in this irq handler.
