hwmon: (axi-fan-control) Fix possible NULL pointer dereference
[ Upstream commit 2a5b3370a1d9750eca325292e291c8c7cb8cf2e0 ]
axi_fan_control_irq_handler(), dependent on the private
axi_fan_control_data structure, might be called before the hwmon
device is registered. That will cause an "Unable to handle kernel
NULL pointer dereference" error.
