Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: 8250_mtk: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2019 13:57:19 -0600

There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case devm_kzalloc()
fails and returns NULL.

Fix this by adding a NULL check on data->dma

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Fixes: 85b5c1dd0456 ("serial: 8250-mtk: add uart DMA support")
