Subject: [PATCH v2] mtd: rawnand: atmel: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

From: [email-masked] (Gustavo A. R. Silva)
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 08:55:55 -0500

There is a potential execution path in which function
of_find_compatible_node() returns NULL. In such a case,
we end up having a NULL pointer dereference when accessing
pointer *nfc_np* in function of_clk_get().

So, we better don't take any chances and fix this by null
checking pointer *nfc_np* before calling of_clk_get().

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1473052 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: f88fc122cc34 ("mtd: nand: Cleanup/rework the atmel_nand driver")
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <[email-masked]>

Changes in v2:
 - Add Fixes tag to the commit log.
 - Remove blank line before null checking nfc_np.
