media: s5p-mfc: fix possible null-pointer dereference in s5p_mfc_probe()
[ Upstream commit 8515965e5e33f4feb56134348c95953f3eadfb26 ]
The variable pdev is assigned to dev->plat_dev, and dev->plat_dev is
checked in:
if (!dev->plat_dev)
This indicates both dev->plat_dev and pdev can be NULL. If so, the
function dev_err() is called to print error information.
dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No platform data specified\n");
However, &pdev->dev is an illegal address, and it is dereferenced in
dev_err().
To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, replace dev_err() with
mfc_err().
