Subject: [PATCH v2 2/8] NFC: nfcmrvl_uart: add missing tty-device sanity check

From: Johan Hovold <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2017 12:15:36 +0200

Make sure to check the tty-device pointer before trying to access the
parent device to avoid dereferencing a NULL-pointer when the tty is one
end of a Unix98 pty.
