In vpfe_isif_init(), there is a while loop to get the ISIF base address and linearization table0 and table1 address. In the loop body, the function platform_get_resource() is called to get the resource. If platform_get_resource() returns NULL, the loop is terminated and the execution goes to 'fail_nobase_res'. Suppose the loop is terminated at the first iteration because platform_get_resource() returns NULL and the execution goes to 'fail_nobase_res'. Given that there is another while loop at 'fail_nobase_res' and i equals to 0, one iteration of the second while loop will be executed. However, the second while loop does not check the return value of platform_get_resource(). This can cause a NULL pointer dereference bug if the return value is a NULL pointer. This patch avoids the above issue by adding a check in the second while loop after the call to platform_get_resource().
